This is the story of our lives abroad and home in Scotland before Lewy Body Dementia got its claws into Bill and destroyed his life.

The launch was held at the Festival Theatre, Edinburgh where friends and family gathered to hear me talk about the book and how it came about. Alex Howard, Creative Engagement Coordinator for the theatre was the emcee and introduced the readings and took questions from the floor.

A Last Journey is available from https://lumphananpress.co.uk/bookshop/ or from Amazon.

Award winning writer Ann Burnett is releasing her memoir A Last Journey, at the Festival Theatre on October 15th 2024.

Age Scotland have given Ann an award towards its publication.

Dementia. It wasn’t what the couple expected at all. They had ‘imagined themselves doddering along till their eighties’ but dementia had other ideas.

Inveterate travellers, living abroad and experiencing life in different countries, they suddenly became confined to their home because of dementia and lockdown
