There was plenty of excitement at Queensway House as a group of our residents enjoyed a wonderful day out to Southend-on-Sea, making the most of the beautiful weather and everything a traditional seaside trip has to offer.
With support from our dedicated team, residents travelled to the end of Southend Pier on the famous pier train before enjoying a leisurely stroll along the seafront, taking in the fresh sea air and stunning coastal views. It was a lovely opportunity to relax, chat together and enjoy a change of scenery.
Of course, no visit to the seaside would be complete without fish and chips, and everyone tucked into a delicious lunch before heading to the nearby amusement arcade for some light-hearted fun. There were plenty of laughs as residents tried their luck on the gaming machines, with Nancy, Doreen, Joan, Patrick and Geff all thoroughly enjoying the day.
Here are just a few of our favourite photos captured:
