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 – Birthday Brunch
Just a quick hello today (compared to my last essay of a blog post!) to tell you about one of the best brunches I have ever eaten. An unexpected delight, unexpected tasty food is even more delicious! It's a friend of mine, Charlene's, 30th birthday this week, today in fact. As one of her multiple… Continue reading Coast to Coast – Birthday Brunch
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
Spa Day – a tranquil experience or a costly inconvenience – Bannatyne Banbury
While staying at Douglas House in Oxford recently, a friend and I decided to check out a local spa for some chill time and a bit of a pampering. Fleur, being a spa virgin, left me to research and plan (grimaces hoping to make Fleur's first experience a good one!). Then again, leaving Fleur to plan… Continue reading Spa Day – a tranquil experience or a costly inconvenience – Bannatyne Banbury
Cafe Rouge Norwich Chapelfield
This weekend I visited Cafe Rouge Norwich Chapelfield for a pre theatre dinner (you can read the evenings events here). However my aim now is to describe and review their accessible toilet. This is by no means a 'perfect' accessible loo, however it is one I get slightly excited about and I am more than willing… Continue reading Cafe Rouge Norwich Chapelfield
Comedy and Cafes
I really enjoy going to the theatre. One of my favourite ways to spend an evening out is watching live comedy. Having a laugh is good for the soul, it takes you away from daily life for a couple of hours. It puts you in the mind of somebody else, their quirks and opinions. This… Continue reading Comedy and Cafes
Jungle Life – Urban Jungle
Some of best discoveries can be found in the city you thought you knew. After seeing photos on my Facebook news feed of friends eating cake and drinking tea amongst exotic plants and trees I was becoming envious, I figured they must be on holiday in some tropical paradise. But oh no, after closer… Continue reading Jungle Life – Urban Jungle
