RETRO RITA AND HER CHRISTMS CRACKERS

The last but definitely not least show of our 2018 Christmas Extravaganza was Retro Rita and her Christmas Crackers.

She fascinated the Ladies and the Gentlemen equally.

Her Christmas songs and festive appearance put everybody into the right spirit for the approaching holidays.

While we are waiting for Father Christmas, I want to take this opportunity to wish you on behalf of everybody at Birchy Hill a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year 2019 x

A BUS TRIP TO THE NORTH POLE………….

We visited Father Christmas and his real Reindeer, but we did not have to go that far! as they resided for a few weeks in Stewart’s Garden Centre, just about 10 miles east from Sway.

Birchy Hill’s Residents loved to see the reindeer and enjoyed visiting the Christmas Market afterwards. It was a great day out.

NEW MILTON’S JUMPING BEANS ……………………

… Or better known as MUSK, the “Milton Ukulele Strummers Klub”, who entertained us with their special edition of Christmas songs and carols.

Songs like ‘I want an Elephant for Christmas’ they were very uplifting on a grey December day.

We all loved them, and they well deserved a very big applause.

We are looking forward seeing them soon again.

A very big ‘Thank you’ to Sis and Pete and all other members of the Klub, who perform purely for the benefit of their chosen charity ‘The Honey Pot’ – great work!!!

JACK AND THE BEAN STALK COME TO BIRCHY HILL

Fee! Fie! Foe! Fum! It was Panto Time with laughter and fun.

Professional actors from “London’s Carousel Theatre” showed us a traditional Christmas Panto.

Jack and his cow Daisy were the attraction.

The Residents were shouting Jack’s name, he answered the questions, and burst out laughing. The show took us back to the good old days of traditional pantomime, with music, jokes, and plenty of songs everybody could sing along to.

SANTA CLAUS IS COMING TO SWAY

As a highlight for our Christmas Party Santa Claus stopped for a few minutes on his busy trip to say ‘hello’ to everybody.

I am sure that one or another guest was wondering if they are in his ‘good or bad’ books to find.

Good luck for everyone!
