THE magic of Christmas lasted well into the new year for Dorset care home resident Joyce Holden, who enjoyed a trip down memory lane courtesy of her local pantomime.
Joyce, a resident of Colten Care specialist dementia home The Aldbury, attended Cinderella at The Lighthouse in Poole.
Joyce grew up in Oldham in Lancashire where her father use to write, direct and also play the Dame in panto.
She said: “My dad’s performances were held at Ashton Road Community Congregational Church and I remember watching rehearsals.
“My dad wore an infamous red wig as the Dame and I used to watch him in wonder.”
Joyce was joined on the trip by fellow resident Jean Hands, companionship team leader Sue Miles and Colten companion Cara Duroe.
