Both homes ventured out for the day to Didcot Railway Centre! We explored the museum, the engine room, signalling office and had a ride on a steam train!

During our visit, some residents were able to reconnect and share memories, especially when we saw all the memorabilia in the museum that related to the WW2.

Luckily the weather stayed on our side today and safe to say we all got our steps in too!
