Thank you @Sirena. I am glad your Mother is happy in her CH and it sounds like it was a lovely day yesterday.Mum would have lived a visit from a petting zoo. I hope you had a good day today.
I had said to Mum I would take her to a shopping centre after Christmas to spend her birthday money. However today did make me rethink and I have definitely now discounted a shopping centre. I think maybe a small retail park that is local to me with a couple of shops on and a cafe will be more than enough. When you mentioned your Mother not being able to cope with life outside it started me thinking that despite the complaints Mum actually does feel safer in the CH, if this is the case then I will be really pleased.
