Middleton Court Carol Service
Yesterday pupils from Burlington Junior School Choir visited Middleton Court and rather than getting thrashed at Boccia this time they were treating the residents to some traditional Christmas Carols and songs. There was certainly a lot of foot and hand tapping and some singing along with the choir. The choir sang a range of songs including Away in a Manger, Deck the Halls, Jingle Bells, Silent Night and We Wish You a Merry Christmas.
All the residents seemed to thoroughly enjoy the concert.
