Reframing Dementia

I moved to Jersey in 1966, where I’ve lived ever since. I had a varied career, including working as a brewer, a tour guide, and as a Parish Roads Inspector.

I was diagnosed with vascular dementia in 2025 and have kept up a very active life that includes regular attendance at the Société Jersiaise lunchtime talks, going to church, singing, pétanque, bridge, and cribbage – amongst other things. I try to keep my mind active. I think I’ve walked most of the roads in Jersey!

Marlene (my wife) and I believe in keeping ourselves busy and maintaining a positive attitude.
