Although my mum is retired from nursing, she is now a carer for my nan who has dementia. She has an allowance of a number of days respite care each year, and on these days my nan is cared for by the local senior centre.
Rather than spending this well-deserved time on herself, she uses it to catch up on her own housework which piles up while she cares for her own mother
It seemed sad to me that in front of her favourite armchair, she’d set up an ironing board, so no time was spent in idle relaxation. She didn’t actually pose for the photo (she hates having her photo taken) but at one magical moment, while we chatted, I managed to take this one shot of her looking beyond the confines of the domestic and out of the window.
I’ll be uploading some more from this roll today.
