A TRIP to Halberton Court Farm near Tiverton brought back happy memories for a pensioner living with dementia.

Ian Spreadbury visited the farm, along with fellow residents from Camelot House & Lodge at Chelston, as part of its activities programme

Activities co-ordinator Richard Dempslake said: “Our aim is to keep people as active as we can and to get them involved in tasks to help stimulate their minds.

“We knew Ian used to love going strawberry picking when he was younger and hoped it would jog his memory about days gone by.

“It was wonderful to see him enjoying himself. He immediately took charge, telling me what to pick and which fruits were ripe and which were not."
