Yesterday was Blue Monday' and to conquer it, the Honiton Carers travelled to Greendale Farm Shop.

It was the last of the group's "Walk & Chats" funded by the Tesco Community Grant. Future "Walk & Chats" will be funded by the "Connecting You" Grant from DCC. The group will be using the train rather than coaches for these walks or perhaps a mixture of trains and busses depending on our destination.

Winnie Cameron of Honiton Carers said: "We were so lucky with the weather today, we have had torrential rain lately but today we were blessed with a clear blue sky, initially cold with a strong wind, but it settled as the day went on and became really warm and pleasant in the sunshine. We enjoyed seeing all the different animals, two trips around the circular walk, Cuppa & Cake, some retail therapy and a lot of chats. Perfect day to cheer up everybody who needed cheering up. There truly is nothing better than Peer support."

If you are an unpaid carer and would like to join our group, please do get in touch, you are guaranteed a warm welcome, whether it is at our Socials at The Kitchen at Combe Garden Centre, our meetings with speakers at The Methodist Church or our Art & Craft session at Creative Beings at Awliscombe.
