Bill and Pat Wilson
Bill was diagnosed with Alzheimer's in 2006 although his wife Pat had noticed changes in Bill's behaviour and his personality much earlier. For example. Bill was putting things in strange places and then not remembering where he left them.
When Bill finally got his diagnosis, he cried -- with relief, because he finally knew what was wrong with him. He describes his illness as 'The Beast' and although he knows that it will defeat him in the end, he plans on 'leading it a merry chase'.
Bill's family are very supportive and together they are putting together a scrapbook of photographs for when he no longer has memories of them or the times they've spent together.
There is one place however where Bill escapes from dementia and where he feels no fear. It's in the countryside near where he lives and is called Coundon Wedge. He has visited 'the Wedge' since he was a child and his family love going there too..
On Coundon Wedge, Bill feels calm and happy and he never gets lost.
