Activity afternoon at Drumdarroch
In December we held an Activity Afternoon for the children and grandchildren of our residents and staff.
We wrote letters to Santa, made reindeer food and Christmas crafts. The children sang Christmas songs and
we had a visit from Santa. He arrived in a tractor this year! Everybody had their photos taken with him and his elf.
It was a fantastic, fun, very noisy day!! I’ve even heard that Santa wrote back to the letters we sent him!
