Dementia. It wasn't what the couple expected at all. They had 'imagined themselves doddering along 'till their eighties' but dementia had other ideas. Inveterate travellers, living abroad and experiencing life in different countries, they suddenly became confined to their home because of dementia and lockdown. With a prognosis of eighteen months left of life and the deterioration of her life partner of fifty-five years, Ann struggled to care for Bill. She battled against bureaucracy, her own sheer exhaustion, and an NHS suffering from austerity and the pandemic, until Bill's death. After, she found herself making a new life and, with a lightness of touch and a humourous approach, telling their story in 'A Last Journey' in memory of Bill.
