In Duncan's furniture shop in Banchory where the Sale is on.
Elderly couple come in, and man is a bit uncertain, but is known to the staff.
Turns out he is a person with dementia but loves the shop.
He is escorted by a staff member to the large sofa in the even larger shop window, which is bathed in sunshine.
He sits down and watches the world go by in Banchory main street, quietly contented and smiling, while his wife goes to look around.
That's the kind of social care that costs nothing and is worth a fortune.
You can't buy it, you embody, enact and donate it.
Later talking to him and his wife we got round to what price tag we would put on him – decided there wasn't a price tag would go high enough.
Aye, right enough.
