Our trip to Blackberry Camp 2024

2nd May 2024

1 May 2024

Today a total of 22 members, carers and volunteers enjoyed a visit to Blackberry Camp to see the beautiful bluebells.  We were so lucky with the weather and despite recent heavy rain we were all able to walk the paths and enjoy the beautiful flowers.  When we left the camp we made our way to the Honey Farm where everyone was treated to a delicious cream tea.  As expected the main topic of conversation was jam or cream first!  Our thanks to the volunteers who did the organising and arranged the transport and to our supporters whose donations allowed this trip to be made.
