Africa, China, Egypt, Israel …. I couldn’t believe how extensively Mrs H travelled in her younger days. Among all these countries, she loves Italy most, particularly Sorrento.

Mrs H has such a sound mind that she could pick up any topics and abled to join the conversations. We talked a lot about politics, religion, news of the world, the NHS and also IT! Although Mrs H has mobility problem, she is so good at her age and not afraid of IT as she used to be a programmer when she was young. She could use apps, laptop and desktop for face time and other applications.

I am so impressed of Mrs H’s knowledge and views of everything. Our conversations went nicely and I was amazed how time flew so quickly as an hour and a half has gone.

I wished Mrs H a lovely Easter Sunday afternoon and parted with a great smile from her. I hope I have given Mrs H some comfort and feeling less lonely.
