As we sit at the airport in London getting ready for our flight to Singapore, I reflect on our 9 week holiday. We have spent time with friends and family and precious time too just the two of us. We have had once in a lifetime experiences and revisited some favorite places. We have stayedContinue reading “UK you’ve been much more than OK….”

Our history makes us who we are today…
There have been lots of things that have occurred to me during this trip and thoughts and feelings that I already had that have been reaffirmed. One of the biggest joys of this trip has been catching up with friends and family. The friends and family have originally been my husband’s but I take themContinue reading “Our history makes us who we are today…”
Talking about death….
We are staying with some good friends who live around the Chester area. We are all in the over 60 Brigade. We were having breakfast together this morning and somehow the topic of death came up. We are all old enough that we have had friends pass away and also parents and in my caseContinue reading “Talking about death….”
Time for a check in…
We have been staying in Goathland a beautiful village in the beautiful North Yorkshire Moors. We arrived here on Sunday 4 June and we leave on Sunday 11 June to go visit friends for a few days. Unfortunately, we started our week in the Yorkshire Moors with a car crash. Luckily I was the onlyContinue reading “Time for a check in…”
Newly diagnosed and stages….
I was reading a post on Facebook regarding a woman whose husband had just been diagnosed with PD at age 61. I was interested to read that he was assessed by a Neurologist as being at ‘stage 2’. I wonder what that even means? What value does labelling stages have? Is this helpful I wonder?Continue reading “Newly diagnosed and stages….”
Building relationships….

Since our last trip, there have been two children born into the family, who we were able to spend time with. Lovely to catch up with others family members too. My husband hasContinue reading “Building relationships….”
Someone asked me about my Parkinson’s today

It has been six years since we have all been together and two children have been born into the family since weContinue reading “Someone asked me about my Parkinson’s today”
On the train again…
Farewell to the Scottish Highlands as we sit on the train to Glasgow from Fort William. From there we catch a train to Edinburgh and another change or two before we get back to the farm in Leicester. The weather in Scotland the last few days has been amazing, blue skies with not a cloudContinue reading “On the train again…”
Keep on trying… Don’t give up!
I was reading a post on the Facebook page for people with Parkinson’s. They were talking about how those of us with Parkies sometimes give up things we enjoy due to our condition. Perhaps sometimes I wonder if it is fear of failure or losing face in front of others? She went on to talkContinue reading “Keep on trying… Don’t give up!”
Safety and Security
I was reading a post on the Parkinson’s Facebook page that I follow, and it had some thoughts that are worth sharing. The post was relaying an incident that happened to an elderly person in their neighbourhood that had a fall and activated their medical alarm. This was unrelated to Parkinson’s by the way. TheContinue reading “Safety and Security”
