We have had a crazy few days...
A dash up to Stoke where the weather was a little different to home.
Yesterday's view from our hotel...
Bebe & a smiling Sime...
We have had lots to do - went up to visit & do stuff, talked about Bebe moving down to Cornwall, but after 2 days of long hours together, we really feel unsure about caring for her full time.
We did it for Nan, but are we ready to do it all over again?
You need a huge amount of patience with someone who has dementia & Bebe's is progressing the same way as Nan's... For now, her care package just about covers her needs & we'll just keep reviewing it.
As we set off from Stoke at 3pm yesterday, the temperature had climbed up to 2C & travelling down the country we noticed it getting warmer - arriving in Cornwall last night it was a rather nice 10C!
We had lovely sunshine this morning...
And the lilies are thriving!
It has been a fraught, tiring few days topped with busy jobs today...
So now we're going to sit, eat & watch a film which has been on our desk for a few weeks, it's called The Pope's Toilet!
Bye for now & hope you're all having a good week.
Kay & Sime

PS. We do promise to catch up very soon with other blogs... :)

I know that some dementia patients get quite distressed if they change locations. It's difficult,I know.Three blog friends are going through the process with parents right now.It's tough. My Dad is at home with Mum,but it's taking it's toll on her (whose name IS Bebe!!)

Hope you were able to unwind and relax tonight. Dealing with dementia can be utterly exhausting. God bless you Bebe xx
A big (((((HUG))))) for you both. x
