Patients and staff at Ottery Hospital were sung Christmas Carols by local girl guides at their Christmas party.

Matron Mickie Dicks said they sang with ‘great spirit’, and were rewarded with

drinks and cakes.

She added: “A group of patients assembled in the day room for the entertainment and all joined in with gusto.

“The Guides also sang in some of the rooms for those who could not get to the day room.

“We have all learned the moves to an animated 12 days of Christmas now!”
