🚐 Mini bus trip to Oakes farm shop🚐

What a lovely little outing today! 🌿
We hopped on the mini bus and headed to Oaks Farm Shop. The weather may have been a bit windswept 💨, but it didn’t dampen our spirits one bit. We warmed up with delicious flat whites ☕, wandered around the shop taking in all the local goodies, and even found ourselves reminiscing about our wedding dresses – such lovely memories shared! 💍💖

Thank you to the staff at Oakes Farm Shop they always go above and beyond for our residents
