hello @Manofkent
a warm welcome from me too
I'm glad you came across this site and have joined as there are quite a few members with a diagnosis themselves and lots of folk who have dementia in their lives, so you've joined a sympathetic and understanding community
feel free to write about anything at all, members will join your thread for a chat
I lived in Kent for a while and watched the 2000 celebrations from the top of Windmill Hill in Gravesend; same place I watched the solar eclipse with my dad = happy days
