Wiggling on Windermere

In two separate shots, Alan rowing, and then Lena, perched up on the stern seat. The waters of the lake and slate-blue and rippling gently. The mountains sit behind.

Dementia doesn’t necessarily mean the end of adventure. This short story recaptures a memorable day.

Inappropriate Behaviour

Lena in a white jacket and black jeans, standing in a shop looking down at a little girl, who is looking up at her in response. A couple of shoppers are at the bakery section behind them, with their backs turned as they select their shopping. Probably one of them is the little girl's mother.

Sometimes, I’m told, dementia can lead to inappropriate behaviour. But whose behaviour is inappropriate in this story — mine or Lena’s?
