I love my new elderly client so much! There definitely is something very special about our elders. They are precious. Will Baby Boomers, Gen X or Gen Y be that delightful in their elderly years?

I have been supporting this latest client for perhaps a month now. I was worried to begin with, because I support her by accompanying her on walks, going to art galleries, helping her with her exercises, and general social support twice a week and I wondered if we would have enough to talk about for four or more hours a week, but there is no trouble there. The more I get to know this lovely Mrs Herbert the more I enjoy talking to her. We fall into easy conversation, and I feel no need to escape or get to my next appointment.

We have had some fun adventures too. She is wild!! One day was beautiful and I turned up. . . she said ‘I was thinking we could go to the river’. So off we went. Neither of us had any idea where we were going but we found a lovely spot and had a wonderful adventure!
