🎃 A Fun Autumn Day Out for Louise! 🍂

Last Thursday, Louise from Newbold had a busy and enjoyable day! She started with a drive around the local area, popping into a couple of shops for essentials and a drink, before heading out for some pumpkin picking. Louise especially enjoyed exploring the textures of different pumpkins, choosing two smaller ones to take home, and soaking up the fresh autumn air.

Afterward, she relaxed on a bench, enjoying her drink, chatting with staff, and taking in the scenery before a peaceful drive through the countryside home.

Days like this allow Louise to engage with her surroundings, make choices, enjoy social connections, and embrace seasonal experiences, creating happy memories to start the chillier months. 💛
