@SkyHelpTeam none of your online help questions help us with our problem. How can I get to actually speak to someone? Very fed up

This is so shocking. These deaths are not invisible. Where's the government focus on stopping these deaths #assailantnotinvisible

Thank you Wolverhampton refuse collectors for collecting our garden bin and on a Saturday. You must be under such pressure. Very grateful, gardening very therapeutic when you are trapped at home

With Ann and Annie in a Staffordshire care home. The very creative and energetic activities officer Susan Harper invited me to test the waters to involve residents in helping make their own mini fiddle quilt. Watch this space!

Judy and I pondering the content of our lecture for 2020 Quilters Guild AGM on Fiddle Quilts for people living with dementia. Children like them too. Good excuse for a festive catch up with a friend!

[FiddleFingers Quilts @Fiddlequilts]

Judy and I have been accepted by the Quilters Guild as uk wide Young Quilters helpers/outreach volunteers. If you know a group or a school who might be interested in getting children and young people involved in making Fiddle Quilts do get in touch!

@MelissaLDavey That's such a shame.

Quickest fiddle #quilt of all time, one potential use; to keep people living with #dementia occupied to enable safe travel as a car passenger
