The Cariad dementia group enjoyed a wonderful day trip to Barry, making the most of the beautiful weather and the opportunity to spend time together. The journey was filled with laughter and fun as everyone took part in quizzes, games and karaoke on the coach, creating a lively and cheerful atmosphere. Although Barry was busy, the group found a lovely spot in a café where they could relax and watch other families enjoying their day at the beach. This prompted many members to reminisce about happy family outings to Barry, sharing treasured memories of visits with their children and loved ones over the years. The group thoroughly enjoyed fish and chips on the seafront, while some members took the opportunity for a gentle walk around the area and enjoyed the fresh sea air. Of course, there was plenty of ice cream to be had as well. One loved one commented on how valuable the trip had been, saying how nice it was to have the support to travel further afield for the day, as they no longer feel confident going too far on their own. Many others agreed it was nice to get out and meet new people whilst feeling supported by the Cariad staff. The coach was a little quieter on the way home, after a day of fresh sea air and making new friends. Everyone left a bit tired but with a smile on their face, whilst calling out ideas for the next group trip. Overall, it was a memorable day filled with friendship, conversation, reminiscence and enjoyment.
Mwynhaodd grŵp dementia Cariad ddiwrnod arbennig iawn ar daith i’r Barri, gan fanteisio i’r eithaf ar y tywydd braf a’r cyfle i dreulio amser gyda’i gilydd.
O’r eiliad y gadawodd y bws, roedd awyrgylch llawn hwyl a chwerthin. Bu pawb yn cymryd rhan mewn cwisiau, gemau a charioci ar y daith, gan wneud y siwrnai mor bleserus â’r cyrchfan ei hun.
Er bod y Barri’n brysur, daeth y grŵp o hyd i gaffi croesawgar lle gallent ymlacio a gwylio’r teuluoedd yn mwynhau’r traeth. Ysbrydolodd hyn lawer o aelodau’r grŵp i hel atgofion melys am ymweliadau â’r Barri gyda’u plant, eu teuluoedd a’u hanwyliaid dros y blynyddoedd, gan rannu straeon a chofion gwerthfawr â’i gilydd.
Ni fyddai taith i’r môr yn gyflawn heb bysgod a sglodion, ac roedd pawb yn mwynhau pryd blasus ar lan y môr. Cafodd rhai hefyd gyfle i fynd am dro hamddenol, mwynhau awyr iach y môr ac, wrth gwrs, blasu hufen iâ ar ddiwrnod braf o haf.
Dywedodd un anwylyd pa mor werthfawr oedd y daith, gan egluro ei bod yn hyfryd cael y gefnogaeth i deithio ychydig ymhellach nag y byddent yn teimlo’n hyderus i’w wneud ar eu pennau eu hunain. Cytunodd eraill fod y diwrnod wedi rhoi cyfle gwych i fynd allan, cwrdd â phobl newydd a mwynhau’r cwmni, gan deimlo’n ddiogel ac yn cael eu cefnogi gan staff Cariad drwy’r dydd.
Roedd y daith adref ychydig yn dawelach, wrth i bawb ymlacio ar ôl diwrnod llawn awyr iach, sgwrsio, hel atgofion a gwneud ffrindiau newydd. Er bod pawb ychydig yn flinedig, roedd gwên ar wyneb pawb, ac roedd syniadau eisoes yn cael eu rhannu ar gyfer taith nesaf y grŵp.
Roedd yn ddiwrnod llwyddiannus a chofiadwy, yn llawn cyfeillgarwch, sgyrsiau, hel atgofion a mwynhad – diwrnod arall i’w drysori gan bawb a fu’n rhan ohono.
