The deaf carer and respite
I've been thinking about what to put in this post and how to write it for some time. I wanted this to be my next post because during the first few months of the pandemic respite care was withdrawn and whilst I knew in my head it was the right thing to do for many reasons, which this post is not about, it also meant an end to my few hours off a week. Prior to the pandemic I was getting four hours off on a Thursday morning. Originally for a lipreading class and then for what turned out to adventures when the class moved and I could no longer get there. My adventures were mostly local but I took a national trust membership and enjoyed some time both looking at the history of properties and the grounds. I have a fascination with history but also with nature so for me it was the perfect combination. I've seen some great exhibitions, Killerton does a fabulous Chirstmas where the decorations take on a theme each year, my favourite being Wind in the Willows....
