Description
Wendy Mitchell started blogging when she was diagnosed with early-onset Alzheimer's when she was 58. Those blogs were turned into a best-selling book, "Somebody I Used to Know", with the help of journalist Anna Wharton. Wendy lives 'happily alone' in Yorkshire and chats to Grace and Peggy in her local pub beer garden. She shares mindful advice and encouraging words for people with dementia, and carers. Her attitude will inspire anyone. This podcast is made by BBC Radio Sheffield. Follow us and get in touch on Twitter: @bbcdementiapod For support and help: bbc.co.uk/actionline
