The afternoon was filled with lively conversation, with football taking centre stage. Debates over who might win the league kept everyone entertained, as the group tucked into a delicious meal and shared plenty of laughs.
Bill Oliphant, aged 75, and Alan Hermiston, aged 89, two of the residents who joined the outing, remarked on the quality of the food and the smoothness of the beer stating that “The food was absolutely delicious and the beer went down a treat!”
It was a fantastic opportunity for the men to enjoy some time out together, embracing the spirit of camaraderie over a shared meal. The staff at Ashington Grange were thrilled to see everyone having such a good time.
