I used to be a big knitter, and I also enjoy painting and reading, I attend a local knitting club on a Tuesday and the local singing club on a Friday. I enjoy going on walks by the sea or in a park when the weather is good.
I am less mobile these days and rely on two walking sticks to move distances around the home or when I am out I have a wheeled walker.
I have been diagnosed with Alzheimer’s dementia, and sometimes I can be quite forgetful, so I sometimes need prompting with my personal care.
