In My Father's Memory

Dementia is something that not only affects the individual but family and friends too.

Writer Val Ormrod from Alvington near Lydney, cared for her father with the condition for 6 years and kept a journal throughout this time.

She then turned this into a book 'In My Father's Memory' and over the last couple of years, writer and director Adele Cordner has adapted it into a play called 'My Favourite Dog'.

You can see this in Gloucester, and BBC Radio Gloucestershire's Jo Durrant has been to meet Adele and Val to find out more...
