When care home staff introduced a wish tree for residents, they weren’t sure what to expect.
But the residents at a Scottish aged care home proved they still have a serious sense of adventure.
From roller skating to spending the day as a police officer, the requests have been varied – and now they have spent a day go-karting.
Ellen, 95, and 101-year-old Percy were amongst the racing residents who took to the track to show they can still handle the hairpins and take care of the curves.
Nothing was getting in the way of Percy, “Oh, I enjoyed it, I certainly did. It was just unfortunate I felt a bit sick at the end, I was quite going around those bends.”
And there was no fear factor as far as daredevil Ellen was concerned.
She said: “Well, it was wonderful. I went around quite fast especially when I was on corners. I didn’t feel afraid.”
Never mind those elderly residents getting their ko-kart kicks, I wouldn’t mind a spin round the track myself.
