A big thank you to Jo, the Activity and Wellbeing Coordinator, for inviting us and organising our visit to Stowmarket Sporting Memories today. Sporting Memories - a group to whom we have spoken before (Sudbury group) - do a great job at connecting people, reminiscing and encouraging activity for all ages and abilities.
As you can see from the photos, Peter was more than happy to join in the mid-session 'shake up' although I'm not sure if the cheeky tongue out was aimed at me specifically.
There were some familiar faces in the crowd (you know who you are!) as well as some new ones and I think that Peter's words resonated with most people, particularly those for whom a diagnosis of dementia has become a reality.
For me personally, it's always lovely to meet with people after our talk to find out more about their own situation and how Peter's words have impacted on them.
And on we go: today Stowmarket, tomorrow Ipswich Town FC and, as Peter was quick to remind me (as if I need reminding of this traumatic event), 1978 and all that...
