Mum eats an ice cream for the first time in Andrew's life

Available for over a year

Andrew talks about making a walk to the park a sensory experience. In the wheelchair Mum feels the bumps in the pavement and the breeze on her face. She smells the blossom and hears children laughing. When they stop by the pond, she loves watching and listening to the birds. But the biggest shock for Andrew is when, for the first time in his life, Mum eats an entire ice cream! Throughout his childhood she didn't eat chips or melted cheese or anything really cold, but dementia has changed all that. Mum and Me: The Dementia Diary was originally broadcast on BBC Radio Leeds.
