Old Norse Lodge Residents Enjoy Outing to Waltham Windmill

Old Norse Lodge Care Home, where residents Mary, Shirley, and Beth, along with the support of caring staff member Toni, embarked on a delightful adventure to the iconic local landmark - Waltham Windmill.

This morning, as the sun streamed through the windows and breakfast was served, a lively conversation filled the air. The trio of friends, Mary, Shirley, and Beth were heard animatedly discussing their desire to visit Waltham Windmill and enjoy a relaxing drink at its charming coffee shop. Mary fondly reminisced about a previous visit her daughter had taken her on, though it had been a few weeks since she'd last been there. The ladies enthusiastically contemplated the idea of experiencing this outing together, relishing the prospect of creating new memories.

Their heartwarming conversation was not lost on the attentive staff at Old Norse Lodge Care Home. One of the caring staff members, Toni, approached the ladies and proposed a heartwarming idea - why not go to Waltham Windmill today? The excitement was palpable as Mary, Shirley, and Beth unanimously agreed that this impromptu adventure sounded like a great plan. With a quick phone call to the local taxi company, arrangements were made for their special journey, with Toni by their side to provide the support and companionship they needed.

The ladies couldn't contain their joy and anticipation as they readied themselves for the day's adventure. Beaming with smiles, they gathered in the reception area, eagerly watching for the arrival of their taxi. Julie, General Manager of Old Norse Lodge, made a heartwarming appearance to wish them well and encourage them to have a fantastic time.

Waltham Windmill, a fully operational windmill since 1880. As Mary, Shirley, and Beth explored the site, they discovered the rich history and unique attractions it had to offer. A miniature railway and a Museum of Rural Life piqued their curiosity, and they were delighted to find the café nestled within a charming railway carriage.

Upon their return to Old Norse Lodge Care Home, the trio brought with them a small brochure, sharing their newfound knowledge of the windmill's opening hours and attractions. Excitement filled the air as they expressed their desire to return, this time with fellow residents, to explore the museum and perhaps even enjoy a ride on the miniature train.

This heartwarming visit to Waltham Windmill was not just an outing; it was an opportunity for Mary, Shirley, and Beth to connect with their local community, make new friends, and bask in the warmth of the sunshine and the fresh air. It was a day filled with laughter, shared memories, and the joy of discovering something new together.
