St Ives House resident enjoys wish come true at Mudeford Quay

Residents at Care South’s St Ives House recently made the most of the mild weather with a lovely afternoon trip to Mudeford Quay.

The outing followed a special request from resident David, who wanted to return to the coast, look out over the sea and enjoy one of his favourite seaside treats.

A trip to the coast

With the weather on their side, residents headed out to Mudeford Quay for some fresh sea air and a change of scenery.

The group spent time taking in the views across the water, enjoying the relaxed atmosphere and chatting together as they watched the activity around the quay.

For David, being back beside the sea was particularly special.

Cockles by popular request

No visit to Mudeford Quay would have been complete without a stop at the fish shop.

By popular request, the residents picked up some cockles, which proved to be a firm favourite with everyone.

Served with vinegar and black pepper, they were enjoyed while looking out over the sea, making for a simple but memorable seaside experience.

David said it was a wish come true to be back at Mudeford Quay enjoying cockles and taking in the view.
