We got a lot of information and answered questions and filled in a form but in the end, with luck, there will be a volunteer to go out with Rocio once a week to baby group or shopping or to the Nottingham Royal Society for the Blind. We'll see how it goes, it could be good. The main problem we can see so far is that the volunteers are limited to two hours at any session so it wouldn't be possible to go into town for something for example, that would take too long.
There are riots in England at the moment. For the last three nights there have been disturbances, even in Nottingham. This evening the landlord phoned me whilst I was at work, saying that he was closing the shop early. The shop is part of the same building we live in, literally straight below our flat. He was worried about tit getting attacked and wanted us to both keep an eye out for trouble during the night and watch ourselves. If someone wanted to break into the shop they would see it closed up with metal shutters and might think they could find a way in by climbing up to our patio and somehow down int o the shop. They would be wrong but it means they would try to break in to our house. Scary stuff. In the end nothing happened.
Was so worried when I heard about the riots in Nottingham, must have been terrifying for Rocio, glad you are all ok, I think the riots have stopped now, as it's raining and the previous offenders are being put through the courts already.
ReplyDeleteCan Home start send two volunteers, one to take over from the other? Sure you'll work something out, as you know I believe in the work of volunteers, they're there because they WANT to help.
