(Firstly, apologies for the weird layout of this page and misalignments, I have been having trouble with the edit facility.) My lovely husband's condition worsens by the week now and I think I can say that he's becoming delusional. I can't come up with a more appropriate word, even though it sounds way over-the-top. Someone … Continue reading A LEGAL CHALLENGE

THE FINAL STRAW
Yesterday I finally flipped. Like a tidal wave, all my frustration, anger and emotion swept me out of control. Luckily, Leaf was in the studio. I tried calling friends who had offered listening help whenever I needed it, but no-one answered and I wasn’t about to leave messages. They would have been incoherent anyway. Then … Continue reading THE FINAL STRAW
ORPINGTONS!
The sun is shining, the garden is blooming all over the place and so are the weeds. The roads are quiet, even the noisy, lumbering farm vehicles seem to be staying put at the co-op depots. And yesterday was Ostara, the Spring or Vernal Equinox when the sun shines directly on the Equator and the … Continue reading ORPINGTONS!
RAMBLING
Dear Friends, It’s been one of those days when the list of tasks seemed endless, not at all like a Sunday should be – sprawled in a deckchair with a good book! Before getting going in the morning, there were animals to be fed, contact breakers to be reconnected, doors to be unlocked. This morning … Continue reading RAMBLING
OVERLOADED
Frankly, the last thing I felt like was writing a blog post. I’m not in good shape. I don’t mean physically, I mean mentally and emotionally. What is there to say? I feel overwhelmed, overtired and overburdened by my role as a carer to Leaf’s AD. I’m on a treadmill and I can’t get off. … Continue reading OVERLOADED
CHANGE OF HEART
For carers and those living with dementia, AD is ever present, there’s no getting away from it. I try not to let it dominate my life and to switch off when there’s a chance of a breather, but that black cloud is never far away. I’m in a period of mourning and there’s no knowing … Continue reading CHANGE OF HEART
LOSING OUR SENSES
In the last seventy years, we have changed almost beyond recognition. When I was young, obesity was virtually unknown – in small communities overweight people were known as ‘the fat man’ or ‘the fat lady’. We tend to be taller too and both changes are predominantly down to diet. But if we look deeper, we’ll discover … Continue reading LOSING OUR SENSES
UNDER ATTACK part 2
YOU ARE WHAT YOU EAT Who said this and what does it actually mean? French gastronomist and lawyer Jean Anthelme Brillat-Savarin coined the expression towards the end of the eighteenth century. He actually said ‘Tell me what you eat and I’ll tell you what you are’. Nowadays he might re-word his message to read ‘Tell … Continue reading UNDER ATTACK part 2
TAPPING INTO THE UNIVERSAL MEMORY
A few weeks ago, I wrote a piece entitled ‘AIDE MEMOIRE’ about personal memories. This week I’m looking back at those events and occasions that have, over the course of our lives, been shared by thousands, if not millions of us. Many will have been stored in our memories, even if we rarely think about … Continue reading TAPPING INTO THE UNIVERSAL MEMORY
