Sometimes life gets in the way and you lose sight of what matters. Personal tragedies, lack of funding, growing older, all add to feelings of can I still do this. I have manged to press the reset button. Opening another Reflections in 2 weeks time. youtu.be/pYK2dWfuuN4

At Reflections today. Know these robotic pets create lots of discussion but think this video says it all really.

What an amazing lady. So touched to read this blog. Please as many people read this, it is truly special. RIP @WendyPMitchell, you will never be forgotten for what you have achieved in bringing awareness in living with and dying with dementia.

My daughter and grandson. Think he's going to be a martini expresso kind of guy. 😂😂😂

Me and my boy out and about for 1st time in months. We don't do winter riding 😂 Only have a gentle stroll. Therapy for the soul.

Went to granddaughters Christingle service at a quaint old Baptist church. Christmas stripped of all the commercialisation. Members of the church arranged it all and made tea etc. All were quite elderly. Prob not many such churches will survive with no younger people joining.

Men and baking at Reflections this morning. What could possibly go wrong ? End result pretty amazing though. 😂

When a retired care home entertainer develops dementia and starts attending Reflections he feels that he has got his purpose and self worth back and we in turn get a fab entertainer.

My husbands headstone made its appearance yesterday. Didn't realise how long these things take. A little reference to Coldplay and one to American Trilogy which the church accepted prob thinking Danny liked stars and psalms 😁

#BBCProms NORTHERN SOUL. Too young to get into the casino but know all the songs and moves from our youth club days. The lads carrying their record boxes,us girls in our full circle skirts. Great memories brought back tonight.

My team at the day centre have found my place of tranquility,where I hide to switch off, and turned it into this ....😂😂😂 Our people from Reflections love it !

This little ray of sunshine made an appearance yesterday. My second grandchild. Grandad would have been over the moon.

Been on my 1st teams meeting today, yup, don`t ask how I have managed this up til now. Spent the hour or so looking at the amazing sea views the LA commissioner had from all of her windows and thinking wow, I want her job.😂😂😂

Never too late to have a go. Reflections this afternoon.

Out in the garden today at Reflections. Having a sing song in between planting and painting.
