hello readers
I am a choral conductor.
In 2008 my husband was diagnosed with Lewybody disease ( a combination of parkinson desease and dementia), not a nice thing to have, time is short. We now have come back from South Australia, as the blog tells you, and I realised that many things had to change as I have to deal with the day to day details with the caravan as well as looking after John. The system needed to change as far as the towing implement was concerned and we now have a Reece System. We also have a system to lift the roof of the van with a motor (we have a pop up), as I cannot lift my arms very well and lifting the roof was getting too hard. My arms were damaged in a fall and the tendons were torned. I honestly believe that having disabilities should not stop anybody to achieve some goals and travel, and it is my intention to keep this blog up to date with our travel and the progression of the sickness while travelling.
We have recently purchased "Rosie" a demountable gopher, Rosie partly fits in the boot of the car and partly in the van; the batteries fits under a seat in the van and Rosie' seat, fits on the back seat of the car with a seatbelt, however rest assured that we have enough room to also fit our little dog in the car. I also have decided to give the van a name, and I would invite readers to send me some names to choose from,of course it should be easy and fun and reflect the nature of what we are doing..... over to you and good luck
