TWO care home residents in Windsor had their wishes granted after they were paid a special visit by a biker group.

Jim Mundy, 88, and Jack Foreman, 91, who are both residents at Mountbatten Grange, on Helston Lane, were motorcyclists in their youth and asked the home is they could see motorbikes close up again.

The care home team got in touch with biker club, Vintage Motorcycle Club, in Banbury, which has members from across Berkshire, including Windsor.

On the day, eight members from the biker group visited the homes garden and enjoyed talking to Jim and Jack about their love of motorbikes and the pair even got to try on a biker jacket.

Debbie Winwood, home manager at Mountbatten Grange, said: “Our Wishing Tree initiative is very popular, and it’s so rewarding to make residents wishes come true.  

“Jack and Jim are well known by the care team for their shared love of motorbikes, so it was a very special moment to see their faces when they first saw the bikes riding towards the home.

“They were both in their element and have had a smile on their faces ever since. Thank you to Vintage Motor Cycle Club for coming to visit us.”

Resident Jim said said the visit was “excellent”.

“I loved seeing all the different bikes and meeting the bikers too, they were a very nice and friendly bunch of chaps,” he said.

Jim also said he loved trying on the jacket.

He added: “It has been quite some time since I’ve seen a motorbike up close like that, I have got four of my own in my garage at home – they are a lot smaller than the ones that came to visit as I was an off-road biker.

“My next wish would be to do that all over again next year.

“It was absolutely wonderful, everything about the day was first class – the organisation, the bikes, the people and the food, I couldn't ask for anything more. Thank you to everyone involved.”
