Suspect Sheila's friend didn't want to go to France with her. Realising she would have to wet nurse Sheila 24/7.

Would not be much of a holiday for her friend.

June, Nevill & CC may have found out & made emergency plans to get her to WHF instead. Where she could be monitored 24/7.

I have managed to maintain a house and do some work this week despite being suffering a bad bout of sciatica A condition that has effected me for years. For the past 12 days I have averaged under 2 hours sleep a night. I am also 56 years old. With this condition simple things like, driving, taking a bath, showering and standing up straight, even sitting on a toilet which we take for granted are hindered. But we still can maintain a semblance of normality 

Whilst you can not directly compare my circumstances with shelia, evidence exists to show she was leading a perfectly normal life for a woman her age prior to the massacre, that's not play down her difficulties, but it's also not to enhance them, the truth is probably something that lies in the middle.

"A" for effort, ILB. Good for you. I think most of us like to show the world a face which is rather different in the privacy of our homes. I had a simple operation last year which went wrong. I'm now as well as I'm going to be.  I've recently returned to 'board treading' and the only concession I've asked is a chair with arms so it isn't obvious that getting up is difficult from a seated position. It could be called "pride". I think pride in herself was something which Sheila, even at her best, had never had. It must have been very easy for her to slide into slovenliness when her mental energy was at zero. I really can't call her situation being "normal for a woman of her age".

[Jane]

Are France holidays and dating men essentials?

Shelia was working as a cleaner, requires a level of dexterity.

And nous as well, the daughter of wealthy parents she was receiving financial support from them anyway. It shows she wanted to retain a degree of financial independence.

Was going to France set in stone, or was it just wishful thinking to jolly her along, ie when you're better we'll go to France?

[Adam]

It would be quite easy for June to make food in bulk for Sheila. To last a week until her next visit.

Doubtful June just bought food for her, then went home.

With mum's cooking in London & WHF, no wonder Sheila was 'well nourished'.

Seems France was cancelled in favour of WHF.

Probably a combination of June, Nevill, CC & Tora knowing it would be too much for her.

[Adam]

Believe Tora Tompkinson was the person who said Sheila needed help getting off the sofa.

So would be aware Sheila could not handle France. Even though Tora would have other people with her to help support Sheila.

Any trip with the twins would need CC's approval. He let Sheila spend a few days with the twins. On the condition he drove everyone to WHF himself.

Believe Tara Tompkinson was the person who said Sheila needed help getting off the sofa.

Taral Palmer Tompkinson?

[Adam]

It is Tora. Have amended.

[ILB]

June was doing Sheila's food shopping.

Suspect June was also doing Sheila's cooking. Making food in bulk so Sheila didn't have to do much.

Jez had supper most nights.

They were June's children ( albeit 20 something adults)

[ILB]

I can never subscribe to Adams notion of painting shelia as a vegetable.

She could walk and talk. But only just.

Sadly was operating at 20%. A lamb to the slaughter.

France was never happening.

[Curiosity]

Taral Palmer Tompkinson?

Two women with similar names and a tenuous connection to this case - Tora Tomkinson, Sheila's friend and confidante who narrowly-missed being one of the victims at WHF and Tara Palmer-Tomkinson, an attractive socialite from a wealthy family (like Sheila) who lived in a posh Kensington residence, snorted cocaine which eventually caused her nasal septum to collapse spoiling her looks, had an unfortunate love life and died alone aged just 45.

How?

[Curiosity]

How?

Tora was invited to visit WHF with Sheila on the weekend before the murders, so she recalled in the Theroux docu, but the offer was turned down for reasons unknown.

If she had been there, then the tragedy as we know it would not have happened.. Is another way of looking at it.  Sheila would have been in a different frame of mind with her friend present.
