    • About Me

      My name is Helena Grant, mother to two daughters and a son, 7 grandchildren, (6 boys, 1 granddaughter). Husband has had Parkinsons for eleven years, finding it is progressing now- husband falling quite a lot, now is hospital. My husband harry is 85, I'm 75. I'm finding it very difficult to be a carer, and life at the moment is very hard as I cannot lift him. If your wondering about the bread, my youngest daughter, Tracey, decided to bake her own Cholla (it was delicious!).
