She came over from Tasmania in July to help sort out Jane's mum and get her into another care home.

We had to visit one of the regions landmarks, the Humber Bridge and after a short walk along the river we had a very pleasant lunch in the Ropery.

Jane is in good spirits however she has a metallic taste that is affecting her appetite so she only wants to eat bland foods like toast.
