Imagine leaving winter behind and sailing out of Venice in August for a magical, relaxing cruise of the Mediterranean. No cooking or cleaning to do. Just time to relax and enjoy blissful luxury. Nothing beats cruising. It's the best way to travel.

Oh Rob that is such sad news. Lorraine had kidney problems but chose dialysis rather than a transplant because she was older and wanted someone younger to have the benefit of a transplant. She always had a smile on her face. She was just lovely.
As President of Alzheimer’s Australia 2011-14, I fought hard on this and was cold shouldered by the industry because it might damage the reputation of good services.

I’m proud to be an ambassador for the National Assistance Card, a personalised card to assist people living with brain injury in the community. The NAC includes cardholder information, their brain injury-related difficulties & ways they can be assisted:
Australian researchers following men and women in their 60s found that those who regularly gardened had a 36% lower risk of dementia than their non-gardening counterparts.

This is long overdue. Older Australians and their families must have confidence in the aged care system. There are some excellent aged care facilities but there are too many stories about inadequate and in some cases appalling aged care that tells us the sector needs an overhaul.

The more dementia friends there are the better the journey for people living with dementia and their family and carers. If you had a diagnosis of dementia you would want as many friends as possible supporting you. Please become a dementia friend

I took my granddaughters to see Peter Rabbit yesterday - they loved it. As did every child (and there were lots of them) in the cinema. It is quite delightful. It's the perfect Easter treat for kids.

I’m delighted to have been ambassador for the Never Before Barbie campaign. I encourage all girls to aspire and fight for leadership positions. We need more First Females.
