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

Changing Place – Porta-hoist-a-loo
While attending Naidex recently I made a massive discovery in my toilet fascinated world. To learn more about Naidex and about all my other exciting Naidex finds you can read my full blog post here. But for now let me fill you in on what I can only describe as one of my best bathroom… Continue reading Changing Place – Porta-hoist-a-loo
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
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
Latitude 2016 – Festival of Fairytales (and my fragile neck)
Being a massive festival lover (there's probably a tiny hippy hidden within me somewhere), I ventured on my 5th consecutive trip to Latitude Festival in July this year. I've been to a few festivals, including Reading and V Festival, but Latitude is by far my favourite. It's like my happy place. It's a festival… Continue reading Latitude 2016 – Festival of Fairytales (and my fragile neck)
