Mum and Dad

My parents overlooking their city from Beechen Cliff.

For me, blip has always been a place for candour, but there's a part of my life I don't think I've ever mentioned here. My mum suffers from Parkinson's Disease. This photo was taken at about 3:15, and she was moving around quite well thanks to her medication, but about 15 minutes later she started to slow down and by the time we arrived home at about 3:45 she wasn't able to move. Today being a bad day, in fact, she wasn't able to move until about 8pm when the medication kicked in again.

It's a difficult illness for everyone, but incredibly painful and frustrating for her.
