Today has been a day of two halves. The first half was a wonderful couple of hours at a Special School talking about Kakuma Refugee camp with a group of delightful young people who are all keen to make a difference. On the way home I called to see Mum. whilst I went to get a chair she said clearly ‘Who is that woman?’ I … Continue reading 30th April Dementia Diaries update
