"It would be very hard for them to communicate how they are feeling."

With the mild weather looking likely to continue over the weekend, I'm looking forward to getting out in the garden.

Read MoreThe trust that runs nine community hospitals across Norfolk is looking for volunteers to assess its inpatient units.
The Norfolk Community Health and Care NHS Trust (NCH&C) has around 220 beds at the sites, and also runs stroke units and palliative care centres.
The volunteers lead annual assessments of the NCH&C's non-clinical services and conditions of buildings, seeing the environment through a fresh pair of eyes.
They look at cleanliness, privacy and dignity, dementia-friendliness, food and disability access - and chat to patients.
Their feedback on how improvements can be made for patients is then passed on to the NHC&C.
In the last 12 months this has led to refurbishment of Swaffham Community Hospital, and to the day therapy areas at Kelling Hospital, Holt. Improvements to privacy and dignity have been carried out at Ogden Court in Wymondham.
The BBC has been speaking to relatives of Paul Gladwell, who died after an incident and his subsequent arrest at Pontins holiday camp near Lowestoft.
The 38-year-old from Colchester was a father-of-three.
His family have made complaints on social media about how an alleged confrontation and its aftermath was handled by Pontins and Suffolk Police.
The Independent Police Complaints Commission is investigating, but Suffolk Police and Pontins have not issued any comment or statements themselves.
Scroby Sands, a sandbank out to sea off the Norfolk coast, is relatively undisturbed and provides a safe haven for hundreds of grey seals.
Last week the Caister lifeboat was on a sea trial in the area. BBC reporter Andrew Turner, who is also a crew member, joined them on board.
While the engineer was at work, Andrew took the opportunity to get "up close" with some of the seals - which he describes as "very fragrant".

The justice secretary and South West Norfolk MP, Liz Truss, has been meeting young people at the Nelson's Journey charity, external.
Last year, the charity provided support to nearly 800 children who'd suffered a bereavement. Without support, the charity says youngsters are at risk of developing behaviours which could lead to criminal offending.
Ms Truss said she'd seen first-hand a number of people in young offenders institutions who've suffered bereavement.
"We are seeing fewer young offenders coming in to our system which is good, but the more we can do to help people deal with those problems, deal with those mental health problems that might emerge, the better."
As well as one-to-one help, the youngsters can attend residential weekends and activity days.
Keelan (standing behind the pool table) lost his dad to cancer five years ago. He told me he can understand the anger turning to crime.
"Not everyone, but a lot of people, could go down that sort of path... they feel it could be a way to let out that anger."
Aaron (pictured playing pool) said he didn't like to speak about the bereavement he'd gone through, and it all "built up inside". His older sister did of cystic fibrosis three years ago.
"When I came here it was like a safe space to speak about what's going on at home and everything."
