along with Jane & Daniel.
We arrived at our accomodation and unpacked. Then we had a delicious 3 course meal in the evening. After the meal some went to watch the Laurel & Hardy film while the others enjoyed the evening entertainment at the hotel.

Today we went swimming in the morning. Then we had a light lunch. Afterwards we saw the Aladdin Pantomime and then we all got ready for the New Year's Eve party night. The evening meal was made special as the table was laid out with decorations and we all had a party hat to wear for the New Year event. Once we had eaten we joined the entertainment. We listened to the music and joined along with the dancing, there was a huge net full of balloons suspended above the stage ready to be released. A great evening was had by all.
We drove to visit Perry's Cider Farm. Once there we went around the museum and saw the old farm machinery. We also saw the huge mound of apples used for the cider. We ate a nice lunch at the cafe. There was a chance to buy gifts and souvenirs from the shop and we were also offered a taste of some of the ciders and apple juice they make at the farm. We then went for a drive in the autumn sunshine and once back at the hotel we joined the archery activity which was fun. In the evening the entertainment was fantastic with a Michael Buble tribute singer and another chance for us to join the disco and dance.
Today we took part in a quiz, played games and got to play a game of curling. We had a lot of fun and laughed a lot while we were playing curling. Afterwards we went for a stroll around the hotel grounds. In the impressive grounds we saw Statues, unusual sculptures, waterfalls, sheep and swans. We sat in the amazing foyer of the manor house where the BBC TV series "To The Manor Born" was filmed. After a bit of a rest we changed ready for dinner. The entertainment was a big highlight tonight. It was a Freddie Mercury from Queen tribute band and we joined in with the dancing.
Daniel took Andrew and Ray to the 10am church service today. While the rest of the group joined the 'air rifle' activity at the hotel. Later we all played musical bingo before having lunch in the grand manor house. In the afternoon we played games and joined in a quiz. Before the evening meal we began to pack our things ready for tomorrow. Tonight was an ABBA tribute band, again very good. The hotel had been decorated for christmas all holiday with a lovely tree with sparkling lights.
The last day and time to travel back home. Everyone was sad that they were leaving as we had enjoyed our stay at our Warner Hotel.
