I will be leaving for the Madyamaka Buddhist Meditation Centre in Pocklington for a few days respite at 10 am.   I am extremely grateful to those people have worked very hard, at short notice, to make it possible for me to have a much needed break.

It is possible that Maureen’s current reality will make getting away relatively straightforward. As we have chatted this morning she has been addressing me as a member of staff in her ‘Care Home’.  I’m hoping that I will be able to slip away for a few days break without any upset: always better to look on the bright side with dementia.
