Afternoon tea – The Randolf, Oxford

As you know I really love tea. And what's better than tea? Afternoon tea! Where you get dainty sandwiches, fluffy scones with clotted cream, a selection of irresistible cakes, and of course an unlimited supply of tea. My most recent afternoon tea experience was at The Randolf Hotel in Oxford. Approaching The RandolfApproaching The Randolf… Continue reading Afternoon tea – The Randolf, Oxford

The Randolf Hotel Oxford

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

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
