For Mary, there’s nothing quote like the joy of baking. Whether it’s something sweet in the fridge ready for her grandkids, or cake in the oven to share with friends, her kitchen is always filled with warmth. But when autumn arrives, Mary says ‘’that’s when baking really comes alive’’.
The Taste of Autumn in Mary’s Kitchen
The smell of cinnamon and apple fill Mary’s home at this time of year. She loves to bake comforting favourites like cinnamon roles, Apple Duchess, and upside-down cakes. ‘’The smell of autumn to me is cinnamon and apple,’’ Mary smiles. ‘’And nothing beats sitting down with a cup of tea, a slice of cake and a good dollop of hot custard.’’
For Mary, baking isn’t just about food – it’s about the comfort it brings, the memories it makes and the independence she values.
Find Support Through Daily Living Aids
Mary lives with arthritis in her hands and back, which can make everyday tasks more challenging. ‘’I can’t lift heavy things anymore, or I pay for it pain later,’’ she admits. That’s why her grandchildren surprised her with a Uccello Kettle for her birthday in August. The kettle tips safely on its rotating cradle, so Mary doesn’t have to lift and strain her back or hands.
‘’It means I can still enjoy my tea without worrying – and that’s a gift in itself,’’ she says.
Discovering the Uccello Grip Mat
Not long after, Mary spotted the Uccello Grip Mat online. ‘’I laughed and said to my daughter, I’d never manage to order it myself – I’m no good at technology!’’ she recalls. With her daughter’s help, the mat arrived just in time for her next bake.
Now, Mary can mix her dough without her bowl sliding across the counter. Opening lids and spice jars is no longer a struggle either. ‘’This Mat just makes things stay put – it’s so simple but so clever,’’ Mary says.
Learning About Daily Living Aids
When she bought the Grip Mat, Mary also learned a new phrase: daily living aids. ‘’I’d never heard the term before, but it makes sense now. There are so many little gadgets and gizmos that make life easier. I think they’re amazing.’’
For Mary, these small changes mean she can keep doing the things she loves – like baking for her family. ‘’I already have my Christmas wish list ready,’’ she laughs.
Why Daily Living Aids Matter
Mary’s story is a reminder that daily living aids are than just products – they’re tools that give people confidence and independence in their everyday lives. From making a safe cup of tea to baking with ease, they help people like Mary keep doing the things that bring them joy.
As the evenings begin to grow darker and the smell of cinnamon fills Mary’s kitchen, one thing is certain: daily living aids have make life easier, brighter, and a lot more delicious.
‘’I might not be great with technology,’’ Mary jokes, ‘’but I do know a good cake – and now I can keep baking them without struggle.’’
