Norwich Playhouse is one of my favourite places, and has been for a few years now. I properly discovered this arty venue while I was studying my MA at Norwich University of the Arts, which main building is situated just opposite. This cosy, friendly, quirky bar and theatre became my second home. The relaxing atmosphere perfect… Continue reading It’s The DOD – David O’Doherty at Norwich Playhouse
Spontaneity and The Noise Next Door
I was spontaneous! I did something spur of the moment! By spur of the moment I mean I went to a gig 4 days after booking tickets. So close to the gig date that I couldn't have the tickets posted. That's how cool I am... I had to collect them. Calm down I hear you… Continue reading Spontaneity and The Noise Next Door
Tiny Lift for Tiny Shoes
Whilst shoe shopping for my niece's birthday recently I encountered a lift like no other lift I have come across before. This lift did not fit my wheelchair, let alone my PA to accompany me! You see I can't use a lift alone. Although I have been abandoned in one before by my friend, who… Continue reading Tiny Lift for Tiny Shoes
The Elusive Golden Ticket – Ed Sheeran
Like 50,000,000 other people yesterday (I don't know exact figures) I tried to purchase tickets to see Ed Sheeran. Like 49,998,531 (again just a guesstimate) of these people I failed. In my opinion there are 3 main reasons that I failed to get tickets. Reason number one: awful, smug, money making ticket touting websites. Reason… Continue reading The Elusive Golden Ticket – Ed Sheeran
Christmas, New Year, and those in between
So Christmas is over, or the apocalypse as I like to refer to it by. We've stuffed ourselves silly like there's no tomorrow. Stocked up on a months supply of food for 2 days. And now January is here, fitness ads are on the telly, we are ready for detox! A bit of a cynic… Continue reading Christmas, New Year, and those in between

Coast to Coast Norwich Riverside
Last weekend I enjoyed brunch at Coast to Coast for a friends 30th birthday. You can read more about the delicious celebrations here. Below I review their accessible toilet. Convenient for me as I drink way to much tea! This bathroom was situation very near our table so I didn't have to navigate the restaurant… Continue reading Coast to Coast Norwich Riverside
To Wee or Not to Wee – How accessible is an accessible toilet?
This a post that will be updated over time, so you'll need to keep an eye for new additions! Having a wee is something I think many people take for granted, and don't realise how something they do every day, many times a day, without even thinking about, can be a constant issue for others.… Continue reading To Wee or Not to Wee – How accessible is an accessible toilet?
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
Wimpole Estate – down on the farm
Earlier this month I was invited as part of a group of individuals to Wimpole Estate in Cambridge. My role was to take part in a tour of the farm and to mention and discuss any access issues that arose. I'd never heard of Wimpole Estate before, even though Cambridge isn't that far from where I… Continue reading Wimpole Estate – down on the farm
