Vintage Motorcycle Club Visit
We were delighted to welcome the Cambridge vintage motorcycle club for a wonderful day filled with beautiful bikes, big smiles, and plenty of excitement! We all had such a great time… but let’s be honest, look who was more excited than everyone else!
It was Nigel! He didn’t need any assistance getting onto the motorcycle and was absolutely thrilled to have a go. The smile says it all! There was definitely a little bit of a “move over, this is my bike now!” feeling going on! Nigel gives the experience a definite 10/10!
A huge thank you to everyone from the Cambridge Vintage Motorcycle Club for bringing along your amazing vintage motorcycles and making the visit so enjoyable.
We’re already looking forward to your next visit!
A walk to the beach
With warm September sunshine what better thing is there to do than take a walk to the beach to have the chance to meander, taste of sea-spray (and a delicious hot chocolate), the opportunity to work up an appetite and savour the joys of living so close to the seashore.
Whatever the weather the sea is there to be enjoyed and we are so fortunate to be so close. At Wimborne we appreciate our glorious location and enjoy the microclimate.

Our art therapy session was a wonderful opportunity to express creativity and have fun. Everyone enjoyed exploring different colours, textures, and artistic ideas.

Visit to Morden Garden Centre
Our visit to Morden Garden Centre was a lovely day filled with beautiful plants, colourful flowers, and plenty to explore.
We enjoyed looking around the garden displays and discovering new ideas for outdoor spaces.
