Residents at a Winchester care home were treated to a virtual Christmas table decorating masterclass.

The session at Barchester’s Flowerdown Care Home was led by Somerset-based master florist, Kathryn Delve.

Residents joined Kathryn in creating festive table decorations, choosing flowers in traditional red hues or other wintery colours based on personal preferences.

I just love helping people create something beautiful and seeing how much pleasure they gain from the experience.

"I’m so glad I was able to work with the Barchester residents today, we all had a wonderful afternoon together."
