RESIDENTS of a Wokingham almshouse community enjoyed a summer lunch with plenty of scones, cream, and fresh fruit.
A special strawberry lunch took place at Wokingham United Charities‘ Westende Almshouses, and was pronounced a delicious success.
Wokingham United Charities charity manager Amy Garstang, said: “Our wonderful trustees and the amazing Lynda, manager of Westende, treated our residents to a delightful buffet lunch.
“The highlight was scones piled high with jam and cream, and paired with delicious fresh fruit.
“It was an afternoon filled with joy, laughter, and fantastic food – along with a cheeky glass of bucks fizz.”
