Sunshine, seaside, music and memory

This week's edition marks World Alzheimer's Day on September 21st. Andrew makes the most of the late summer sun and takes Mum on a trip to the Yorkshire coast. She makes it, briefly, to the railings overlooking the sea. Although she doesn't react much on the journey, Mum comes alive listening to Acker Bilk's 'Stranger on the Shore' when they get back home. As 大象传媒 local radio, in conjunction with 大象传媒 Archives and 大象传媒 Music, celebrates Memory Radio 1960s, Andrew reflects on the power of music to evoke memories. Mum and Me: The Dementia Diary was originally broadcast on 大象传媒 Radio Leeds.
