Sobre este título
While most people are warm indoors, counting down to Christmas and New Year, someone still has to knock on doors.
Wet Socks & Cold Tea is a raw, funny, and a deeply human memoir of domiciliary care work told from the perspective of a carer on foot. No car. No shortcuts. Just icy pavements, relentless weather, and the quiet responsibility of being the person someone is waiting for. Working through winter, this walker navigates Christmas Day shifts, missed dinners, New Year’s Eve spent dodging fireworks on wet streets, and the unseen hours between calls.
Told with sharp, sarcastic humour and moments of unexpected tenderness, this is care work exactly as it is exhausting, meaningful, and often invisible. But this isn’t just a book about hardship. It’s about connection. About the people who wait behind doors. The service users who notice more than we think. And the quiet strength it takes to keep showing up when your body is tired and the world has moved on without you.
Honest, warm, and laugh-out-loud real, Wet Socks & Cold Tea shines a light on life beyond the front door and the people who hold it together, one careful step at a time.
