... at Bowles Lodge today. She said "I love it here and don't want to move".
The legal process to save Bowles Lodge is over but the spirit of Bowles Lodge lives on!

- This blog is about a campaign I led to prevent Lancashire County Council closing the care home my Mum lived in. We lost our case in the High Court but decision-makers at local and national level were made aware of the devastating consequences of moving elderly people - no matter how carefully it is done. Mum was moved and, sadly, died eight months later. The blog is dedicated to her precious memory. Love you Mum.
This is Vera, my mum
This is Vera, my mum. "Why did Kent County Council move me out of Bowles Lodge?"
Your mum is a charming lady, she is friendly and thoughtful to other residents(i hate the term 'service user') and staff and although battles with herself at times to remain indipendant(she gets very cross with herself at times} she is happy to accept any offers of help when needed. This brave determined lady should be left to live the remainder of her life as she wishes and where she wishes. Is it really so easily forgotten that these people are the last of the generation that gave their lives to save this not so Great Britton .Everyone of these people played their part however small and we all owe them so much.
