Last Friday, Cedar Lodge went on tour! 

Supported by 8 members of our dedicated care team, 11 of our residents took a trip to Weston Super Mare for sea, sun and plenty of fun! 

After breakfast, we all climbed into our specially-hired minibus for our journey to the coast. There was lots of chatter and excitement as we set off, sharing our memories of past trips to Weston and our residents favourite holiday destinations.

On arrival, we were greeted with beautiful sunny weather. We strolled along the seafront, taking in the Ferris wheel and the new Sea Monster art installation. Designed from a decommissioned oil rig, many of us had already heard about the sculpture on the news several days prior. It was fantastic to see it in person and take in its mammoth scale – 15metres higher than the Angel of the North.

We then walked along the pier, enjoying all the arcade amusements, before tucking into fish & chips whilst admiring the lovely views of the ocean. All seemed well until our Manager Zoey was attacked by the infamous Weston seagulls while getting her chips! We sent a distress signal to a kind member of the public who helped shoo them away.

Seagulls aside, we all agreed it had been a fantastic day at the beach! A huge thank you to everyone who came along to make the day so special for our residents.
