Residents Adelaide, Chris, Viviene, and Doreen, accompanied by staff members Allie, Ryan, Jess, and Odette, enjoyed a leisurely walk down Bloxwich High Street, reminiscing and sightseeing along the way. The ladies were amazed by how much the town has changed over the years, sharing stories and fond memories as they strolled.

On arrival at the fire station, the group received a warm and friendly welcome from the firefighters, along with refreshing bottles of water—much appreciated in the warm spring sunshine.
