A former resident of Flushing has had her dream to return to the seas on a yacht immortalised by recreating a picture taken on a bow 45 years ago.

Kay Stevenson-Bromley, a resident at Falmouth Court Care Home, had wanted to return to the seas on a yacht again having previously sailed around the world in her younger years.

So staff at the home made her wish a reality proving the old adage, it’s never too late.

Kay has lived at Falmouth Court for six months and is loved by staff and residents alike. Staff at the home were delighted to be a part of making her dream come true.

Haley Reeve-Larson, general manager, who arranged the charter of yacht opted to take Kay, who was also accompanied by Pat Brown and Gerry Stock out into Falmouth Bay to watch the air show on Armed Forces Day. All three residents having big links to the Armed Forces throughout their lives.
