Age Uk and Dementia

Have you ever wondered about dementia and what the chances are of developing it in older age? Age Uk tells us that 1-in-14 people over the age of 65-years lives with dementia.

Sharks Ahoy

Gwyneth; Marina; Esther; Rosina; Lynn; Sean.

So, what is going on behind the fence at Vardre Deganwy? Is Esther paying out on bets on the winner of the final trophies of the season? Or doing card tricks? Or …?
