CARE home residents have expressed heartfelt thanks to members of a New Forest church for bringing them handmade gifts and sending messages of seasonal cheer. Dozens of knitted squares and written greetings were personally delivered to Colten Care’s Woodpeckers home in Brockenhurst by Revd Canon Diane Webster. The items, adorned with crosses, were made by the Mothers’ Union membership charity at nearby Brockenhurst Parish Church. Canon Webster, a regular visitor to Woodpeckers before lockdown for communion services and individual meetings, said in a note to the home: “As we have been unable to visit, members knitted the squares as tokens of our love and prayers for those in our local nursing and residential homes.
