A cover on the back wheel of a 4x4 reads: "Adventure Before Dementia" and it causes massive upset. So much so that a reader bothers to write to The Times, saying: " I feel this is quite the wrong message."
Really? Hilary of Norfolk might have good reason to think this way. I can't fathom it though. For me, this is exactly the right message. Dementia is everywhere. Pretty much everyone in any old folks' home has some level of confusion. A lot have no idea where they are or what day it is.
That is the reality we are all facing as our bodies stay in good nick but our minds disappear down the toilet. Get out the truck, head off into the hills and live a full and active life full of fun and yes, adventure, because sitting in an armchair staring out of a window comes far too quickly.
