Just wondering if anyone might have seen my 87 year old mother today. She has alzheimers and went missing from her care home in Barry Road at about 3am this morning. She is 5' tall with white hair, wearing a light blue blouse, navy cardigan and black trousers. Police and bus drivers looking for her but no luck so far.


Many thanks

Marianne


Thanks so much for your kind messages - much appreciated. I am happy to say that she has just been found in Kilburn (!) and is confused but ok and on her way home. The police have been absolutely wonderful.

Thank you for your kind messages - she doesn't remember where she used to live (Westminster Bridge Road) but the police and members of the family have been driving around the area all day. She has no money and no coat and must be totally confused - I just don't understand why somebody hasn't checked to see if she is ok. Anyway, must remain hopeful, the police have been marvellous.


Once again, thanks to you and GSJ57 for your good wishes.

You really are lovely people on this thread - so caring! We now know that she got a 12 to Oxford Circus - a bus driver recalled seeing her at 5am - you would think he could have asked her if she was ok as she had no coat and was wearing slippers .... after that, she must have got on a bus at random as she has no connections with Kilburn. She has an old Freedom Pass which expired in 2006 but no photo to go with it so I can only presume that the drivers were not too fussy. We don't know what she did all day but she ended up in a Turkish cafe where they very kindly fed and watered her and called the police. I intend to thank those lovely people too!


Otta, all the doors are alarmed except one fire escape door (she would have had to walk through a long corridor and the kitchen in pitch darkness to get to it) and as she is normally very well looked after I can't be too angry with them - these things happen occasionally - I'm just grateful there was a happy ending to this very long day ...


Once again, many thanks for all your support (I got quite a few PMs too).


Best wishes

Oh thank goodness .

And thank goodness for the kind sensible Turkish cafe people .


The care home must be beside themselves - if it's the one I think it is ,they are really excellent and caring .

I bet arrangements for that fire exit to be alarmed will be in hand sharpish .

    • Big recommendation for Stephen Viccary who has created a magnificent bathroom for us. Quality of work is absolutely top notch. We couldn't be happier - see pics.  Stephen is considerate and tidy meaning working from home during the work was fine (some noise - obviously, it is a demo and installation after all. He does not work on multiple jobs, does a full days work and does ALL the work himself - Tiling, plumbing, lighting (including lighting on a motion sensor under the vanity and in the shower niche - for night time visits 😉), he even changed the door architraves, sorted the badly cracked ceiling and did all the paint work. A full end to end service. Stephen's number - 07941 266 145
    • Highly recommend Dulwich Eco Gardening.  When he came to quote Saied said he’d give our garden back so we could decide what we do next.  Under two weeks of hard work from Saied and Mo and we have the garden back and can see paving I’d forgotten about. Not only did Saied remove our very overgrown greenery. Nature had taken over. He also took back to our fence line overgrown ivy, apple and pear trees and and dealt with a neighbours bamboo that had invaded our garden.  We are now going to get quotes for what we do next so those quoting will be able to see the space.  Saied has suggested someone to quote and will be coming back when he does in case he has any questions or they can work together.  I thought Saied would be a good choice and he was. Quotes from others didn’t leave me with confidence for the end result. That was never a concern with Saied.
    • Having a BBQ (fingers crossed) in 2 weeks and need a small BBQ for veggie bits and any spare benches or garden tables and chairs to borrow to add to mine. Any going? Thanks in advance...
