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

Baby shower and a brewSo my friend is pregnant! Well she was, she's now Mummy to the adorable baby Luna.

Turtle Bay Norwich – A Rollercoaster in Pyjamas
We've all had various experiences when out dining with family or friends, bad food, good food, poor service, great service. As someone that really likes to try new places, but is also restricted as to where I can access, I often end up sticking to my comfortable favourites, just like an old faithful pair of… Continue reading Turtle Bay Norwich – A Rollercoaster in Pyjamas

After devouring the most delicious afternoon tea at The Randolf in Oxford recently (you can read about the yummy, Bond-esque experience here), and drinking way too much tea, I needed to visit their facilities. I need no excuse to check out any accessible loo! I'm sure there is more than one accessible toilet within The Randolf… Continue reading The Randolf Hotel Oxford
Naidex – The NEC Birmingham
Staying at Douglas House in Oxford last week was the perfect opportunity for me to attend Naidex, at The NEC in Birmingham (just over an hours drive away), Europes biggest disability trade show for professionals and consumers. Somehow (shamefully) I had never heard of or come across Naidex before, until a fellow wheeler introduced me.… Continue reading Naidex – The NEC Birmingham
It’s The DOD – David O’Doherty at Norwich Playhouse
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
