I haven't been able to visit for a few weekends so it was lovely to catch up with Mrs S again.

Her new steroid treatmeant for her legs is having a positive impact.

She was watching a TV programme about television advertising back in the day so that prompted us to have a nostalgic conversation about old adverts which then moved into a trip down memory lane about Mrs S's school days and her first job in a bakery from the age of 15 - wow! She also worked at the Eton College laundry for 12 years.

Her recall of small details of people and buildings is incredible.

I also found her medicine beaker that had fallen under her chair and she had been fretting about.
