Sun, ice cream, birds, kids - and a happy Mum

Andrew Edwards

Available for over a year

Andrew usually takes Mum for an afternoon drive. But this week, with the sun shining, he got the wheelchair out and pushed her down to the park. She noticed the spring blossom, enjoyed watching children and birds and - for the first time Andrew can remember since childhood - enjoyed ice cream. Or, as he puts it in the diary, "it's been a really, really good day". Mum and Me: The Dementia Diary was originally broadcast on BBC Radio Leeds.
