Mum’s first visit from Weald House to The Hayling View by specially-adapted taxi and a nice time for her playing Scrabble and Monopoly with her grandchildren whilst also enjoying the fresh air and eating a good nourishing lunch. This evening working on Derek Giles latest leaflet and circulating it for comments and corrections
Today was a day that started misty and then cleared to become mild and sunny which was just as well because it was planned that Mum was to come by special taxi and to spend some time with us. She arrived quite early at 9:30am, before we were really ready, and first had a chat and a cup of ‘milky coffee’ with Di and I. We discussed Dad’s forthcoming funeral arrangements and she said it was such a pleasure being in a normal family home with fresh air and good company. There were so many elderly and confused people at Weald House that have to keep doors and windows locked to restrain the ‘wanderers’. She had a nice game of Scrabble with Debbie and Daniel (who also joined in to his credit). A nice sit-down lunch in the kitchen where Mum enjoyed a good meal which is excellent in view of her diminutive weight. Then a hasty game of Monopoly before the taxi called and took Mum back to the nursing home.

This afternoon, Daniel had some friends round and, together with this evening, I laid out the last leaflet in the Eaton’s St Neots Town Council by-election with Derek Giles as the candidate. It took me until midnight to complete this and then deliver copies to Derek and other party colleagues so that they could look for errors and mistakes.
