Q My husband is in a nursing home after suffering two strokes in succession a few years ago. While his health has not deteriorated too much in that time, he will be 80 next month and the nursing home he's in has had a few cases of Covid-19.

We had a dairy farm and it kept us comfortable down the years and helped us put our two sons through college. The farm is now rented out to a local dairy farmer, who pays his bills on time; it's a great income for me as it helps pay the nursing home bills.
