In 2007, Mum's symptoms of dementia first became very noticeable in the form of unusual behaviour such as barricading doors, tying up gates with handkerchiefs, calling the police all the time to imagined intruders and obsessing over her two cats. But even years before that, she'd made bad judgments with money, selling her house to a conwoman for $100,000 less than it was worth and wasting money on employing tradesmen to carry out unnecessary work. She only became seriously forgetful in 2010.

A nice trip to Sydney
Mum's always happiest when in the passenger seat of the car, so we go for a lot of drives. A couple of weekends back we went to see the cemetery in Newtown N.S.W. where her great great grandfather is buried. He died in 1854.
She recalls family history when I remind her. I might remind her about Grandfather Dawson, then she'll remember the name of Grandmother.
We visited the cemetery and then walked around the area where he lived to see all the interesting old buildings. Here are some of our pictures.

This building was once a grocery shop owned by one of our ancestors in the 1890s.
