WENT OUT WITH HELEN TODAY...

... nowhere exciting, just into Morpeth and to Heighley Gate, but stopping for coffee and treats and doing lots of chatting. Had a really lovely time actually. And then I came home to find that Christina and her Dad had had a major fallout and you could still cut the air with a knife. We now seem to have a stand off situation with Christina taking refuge in her room and us alternately seething and feeling helpless. In the morning I am going to try to find out WHO CARES FOR THE CARERS??? Who is going to help us before we fall apart?
