Patching the Puncture

Patching the Puncture continues Peter’s story, living with Alzheimer’s and defying expectations. He still rides his penny farthing and shares, with candour and humour, the reality of life with dementia. Spanning the five years since their first book, Slow Puncture, this sequel offers an insight into Peter’s evolving world. Through his words, we see both the heart-rending challenges and the unexpected moments of joy, while Deb reflects on her own journey of self-discovery and the profound impact of their friendship. Together, they recount cycling adventures, public speaking engagements and the growing influence of Peter’s story. With warmth and honesty, they share practical strategies for living well with Alzheimer’s, challenge stereotypes, and celebrate the contributions people living with Alzheimer’s make. Moving, funny and deeply inspiring, Patching the Puncture is a tribute to resilience, friendship and the power of finding hope in the smallest of things.
