Our News Our Views Go To…
Today we visited The Blue Ginger Cafe at Cradley, Malvern. Lovely arts and crafts and great plum cake! Very friendly. Worth a visit – not very easy for a wheelchair.
The Send and Canwood Gallery
We were going to go to The Core Skating until we made a change of plan. Instead we went to The Send Climbing Centre , Ramsden Road, which is in Rotherwas. We spoke to Nina Holland, who is the owner of the place. She showed us around the building and all the climbing frames. We all so went to Canwood Art Gallery and sculpture park in Woolhope which you can go round, costing nothing because it is free.
We went round the sculptures field which was good but uneven ground and difficult for the wheelchairs to get round the field because it was uneven.
It was a good day out and we took lots of the pictures at the Send and the art gallery sculpture park.
