Visit

I spent the day at my parents' new home in Alsager, in Cheshire. It was the first time I had been able to visit for some weeks, so it was good to see them.

Sadly, the years are taking their toll - particularly on my dad, who is pretty frail these days and is becoming less and less mobile.

I think he really enjoyed getting out of the house to try out a mobility scooter and have a meal at a nearby pub.
