Dementia is really the most awful thing. I feel for you. I love the illustrations, I can hear a book title - The Boy in the Leopard Print Coat...

Lovely collages! I am sorry about your Mum, it is a very difficult time for you both, to say the least. It's also so hard when you have to keep a check on her drugs when others don't do their jobs properly, causing her more distress. xx

Thank you Stephanie. It’s increasingly difficult seeing my Mum decline like this but she keeps hanging on bless her.

Your art work is amazing and so cheerful. It made me smile as did the stories. Sending much sympathy for you and a wish for better pain relief for your mum to enable her to sleep and be at peace. It must be so hard for you to see her that way Gina . My thoughts are with you and I’m sending strength vibes for this part of your journey with your mum x

May I echo the other comments - your artwork is brilliant. The facial expressions are spot on and really made me smile.

Sending sympathy as regards your Mum's health and the inevitable anxiety.

If those cartoons are the result of your experiments, then you should definitely make a book for your grandchildren. They are fabulous!
