I should preface this with a disclaimer. I recently returned to the UK to spend some time with my dear old wobbly mum and dad. I took the decision at fairly short notice, and was essentially free to do so because my tireless, lovely mother-in-law could stand in for me and take care of myContinue reading “Exercising my rights?”

My experiences of the last several weeks have raised a number of questions. I doubt I could find satisfactory answers to these questions, but they are questions which play on my mind, so perhaps it is worth writing them down, just in case anyone out there has something.
