Falkirk Wheel Trip – Friday 26 July 2019
What a great day out: weather was kind, wonderful company as usual and what a joy to see this feat of engineering! (Love how the Falkirk area has been regenerated, with its beautiful Kelpies and Wheel).
We enjoyed our picnics, ice creams, laughs and watching all the families enjoying their day out. Grateful thanks to all who made this possible.
Kelpies Trip – 7 June 2019
On the go again! A fabulous day out to see The Kelpies – lots of sunshine and just one wee shower of rain. A brilliant day from start to finish and thoroughly enjoyed by all. It was sheer joy to see these beautiful sculptures close up. Thank you to Amy at the Helix Visitor Centre for all her help in organising the trip; Jim for his wonderful commentary on our guided tour, and David our ELC bus driver for transporting us safely. Jim explained just how important the whole Helix project has been in regenerating the Falkirk area, with all proceeds from the guided tours, gift shop sales, etc all going to benefit the wider community. Our heartfelt thanks to all in the Dunbar Community and beyond, whose generous donations make trips like this possible.
Afternoon Tea at Dunbar Garden Centre – 23 May 2019
What a lovely afternoon at Dunbar Garden Centre to celebrate the first anniversary of the official launch of Dunbar Dementia Network. The company was excellent, the tea was flowing and the cakes and savouries were delicious.
The afternoon was rounded off nicely, choosing some plants to donate to the Sanctuary Garden at The Backlands. All in all, gorgeous weather, great company and food, with time spent in beautiful surroundings.
