Mum woke very very confused this morning. She seems to think she may have lost something but not at all sure what it is or where she lost it or even when she last had it. Seem to be getting a few mornings like this now, Sarah suggested maybe its some confusion with dreams? Maybe just another symptom of the dementia manifesting itself? As it was though a hearty breakfast managed to allay some of the confusion and she was soon back to her "normal" self.
A day out then. We decide to vist the spectacular Elizabethan pile of Kirby Hall near Corby, an English Heritage site that we used to visit as children when it had stood as a ruin for many years, Now looking splendid as the work to preserve the integrity of the building continues. When at its prime it had one of the most splendid gardens in England, part of which has been recreated to some extent to give an idea of the scale of things.
The majority of the Hall was built by Sir Humphrey Stafford hoping to recieve Elizabeth 1 on her annual progress around the country, something that sadly never happened. She would probably have loved the house but was worried about being too close to Corby, and the chance her carriage may have been nicked

Very interesting day out, the free audio tour is well put together and informative and it gave mum someone to talk to on the way round!
Back home for tea just before the skies opened.
No mention all day about the missing thing so just have to see what happens in the morning.
Heres the rest of the pics from today, would thoroughly recomend a visit.
