โจ **Canal Trip Fun!** ๐ค๐
Yesterday some of our residents enjoyed a lovely canal trip. They had a fantastic day cruising down the water, chatting, and tucking into a delicious fish and chip lunch.
A big well done to our amazing activities team for organising such a memorable outing, and a huge thank you to our volunteer, Mark, for driving both the minibus *and* the boat! ๐๐
