Thanks to our new friend, David’s weekly barber session in our kitchen has gained a more carousel flavour. David has welcomed wholeheartedly the invitation, and promptly spun around leaving me the perilous task to trim the edges on the fly!

🙏🏼 context is paramount🙏🏼Most of what I’ve shared w/ you is gleaned from the long journey of continuous adaptation, @davidwickert & I undertook 15 years ago, all fuelled by an ever evolving and deepening love not just for each other, soulmates, but for a life worth living 💖

David takes his create & connect activity booklet with him to all our walks. Today D’s imagine what the dog in a photo may be thinking! And he spotted his friend @MarinaSpiteri2 wearing a nice frock! Thanks @MuseumofLondon for the gift that keeps on giving 💖

So enjoyed Grayson’s art club! Creating for us is always about getting closer. All wrapped up in the ongoing nurturing & regaining sense of trust. These things we make are symbols of that trust, as such they mean everything to me

Well articulated point here about how hard it is to nurture & sustain the personhood of a person living w/ dementia in a system/society that pushes towards a dismantlement of its very scaffolding. 👌🏾 ~ Somewhere north of Preston https://t.co/egtl9Jlrxx via @wordpressdotcom

To play is to bend limits rather than rally against them & maybe find unexpected room to move. It is in essence freedom, if only illusory – & there can be relief in that. That willingness to be playful, is saying “let’s relax the constraints of the world!” https://t.co/aOhKrMfjxX

We really enjoyed @Alan_Measles Grayson Perry’s Art Club & the discussions it initiated about role of art & creativity in society especially right now. We have had such interesting feedback from care settings re what art has meant to them during lockdown. Find out more on 24 Sept
