People tell me good access should be a given, that places/businesses/people shouldn’t be praised for letting me in their building, a ramp shouldn’t mean a gold star. I agree. Access should just be a thing that happens. Not a topic of discussion, a cause for complaint or reward. Everyone should be able to experience everything.… Continue reading Praise You Like I Should

Shooting Stars And A Black Carpet – Ed Sheeran Chantry Park Ipswich
Ed Sheeran tickets were on sale. You may remember the last time this happened and my rant that preceded. This time I’m happy to report things went much smoother. Equally smooth anyway. There would be only two venues left for Ed Sheeran’s record breaking two and a half year long Divide World Tour. One of… Continue reading Shooting Stars And A Black Carpet – Ed Sheeran Chantry Park Ipswich
12 Must-Dos On An Accessible Festive Family Holiday – Center Parcs Elveden
It’s still January, the longest month of the year. possibly the longest month of my life. It’s the time of year when we start looking to the year ahead, making plans, booking holidays. I wish. I did recently have a holiday though, not of the relaxing kind (although it’s always a bit relaxing just to… Continue reading 12 Must-Dos On An Accessible Festive Family Holiday – Center Parcs Elveden
Bums and Bubble Tea – Latitude Festival
You’ll know by now I love a festival, and Latitude Festival is by far my favourite. It’s magical, eclectic, arty and fairly civilised. I attended again this year for the 7th year in a row. I’ve raved about (in written form, I am not much of a raver in the other sense) Latitude Festival before… Continue reading Bums and Bubble Tea – Latitude Festival
Parrots, Football and Time Travel – Pleasurewood Hills
It was the Saturday when England played football. The game of the World Cup where England were doing better than they had done in... I don’t know how long... because I didn’t really care. They were doing well though and everyone was having barbecues or going to the pub. It’s been hot you see, we… Continue reading Parrots, Football and Time Travel – Pleasurewood Hills
That Festive Feeling
I’m not known for being the biggest fan of Christmas. I don’t hate it, but I’m not a super fan of the actual day it’s self. Or the greed and need for everything to be perfect. It’s all a bit of an anticlimax if you ask me. I’m not ungrateful, I love giving and receiving… Continue reading That Festive Feeling
The Apex Bury St Edmonds
Although I’ve been to Bury a few times and attended a show at The Apex, I don’t think I’d checked out this particular loo until I went to Bury Christmas Fayre this year. This accessible toilet is situated on the first floor of The Apex Theatre. A lift on the far left of the main… Continue reading The Apex Bury St Edmonds
The Magical Latitude Festival
As you know I've become quite a regular at Latitude Festival in Suffolk over the past few years. One of my favourite places on earth, after the first year I went, in 2012 I knew I'd have to return every year. This was my 6th consecutive visit. I advise here that you read my… Continue reading The Magical Latitude Festival
Elbowed in the Forest
I've been a fan of Elbow around 15 years. I like to think of myself as one of the early day fans, I enjoyed their music before it was cool to enjoy it, before some tunes became overplayed on the radio, before they were 'mainstream'. I have been lucky enough to see them play live… Continue reading Elbowed in the Forest
Away With The Girls – Center Parcs Elveden Forest
Our holiday in sketches on the lodge chalkboard When you think of Center Parcs most people think adventure, outdoor activity, action, cycling, and most probably able-bodied, not necessarily thinking it would be the ideal holiday for a someone with wheels. Don't get me wrong there are a lot of activities that do require fitness and mobility.… Continue reading Away With The Girls – Center Parcs Elveden Forest
