Family stories around the dinner table seem to be a thing of the past with our on-the-move lifestyles.

The famous song Veronica, co-written by no others than Elvis Costello and Paul McCarthy, chronicles the story of a life well-lived, full of ups and downs and laughs, of Elvis Costello’s grandmother who is slipping away into the darkness of dementia.

This is an amazing achievement.
