This is a post my husband didn’t think I should make…
A bit of a provocative title, I know. But, it is the truth. This post stems from a situation I have faced in recent times, that I never thought I would. For more than four years now, I have been very limited in the amount and types of exercise I could do. This is for…
Keep readingArrogant assumptions of electronic abilities
Wow! That’s a long title. I have spoken about this topic before in relation to the expectation that everyone can and will be able to access a computer. Here are some more thoughts sparked by a news item I caught the tail end of on television last night. The article in question was regarding Lloyds…

Just the other day, my husband and I went to a stately home for a walk round it’s amazing gardens. They were stunning and we both thoroughly enjoyed seeing them. However, because of my Parkinson’s I didn’t feel as able to view as much of the garden as my husband did. I feel that when…

50p for a pee? Now you’re kidding me!Got to root through my purse, before I can pee!What do you do if you don’t have the cash?As you get to the door in a desperate dash Legs tightly crossed while the coin they are seeking Desperately praying, that they don’t start leaking What about parents, with…

At the moment, my husband and I are in the UK, specifically in Wales in a place called Betsw-y-coed. It is a beautiful place and popular with tourists. The reason we are here in particular is that we are catching up with some friends that my husband made through some walking holidays. When I say…

As I have said more than once in the past, in many ways Parkinson’s can be a hidden disease, especially in the early stages. If we are seen to be “normal” I sometimes wonder if I am being judged for accessing support when boarding or disembarking from a plane. We returned to the UK today…

We have continued our travels and are now in the beautiful Molveno area. Out of our window is the most breathtaking of views. I opened the curtains on our first morning here and said just one word, “Wow!” The view of the mountains from our balcony is just breathtaking. We are here for a total…

Here we are today, our first full day in Italy. We arrived last night after a flight of approximately 1.5 hours from Gatwick Airport in London. We then arrived in Italy and proceeded to go through the fiasco – I think that might be a word of Italian invention – of trying to enter the…

We are now about two weeks into our UK adventure. Most of this time has been spent with family, one way or another. We have caught up with my husband’s sister and her husband, our niece and nephew and their other halves and met a newcomer and got to meet other young ones after an…
Keep readingDisability or Accessibility?
Lucky me, I started yesterday with a head cold. Isn’t it strange how one night you can go to bed feeling fine and then wake up in the morning sneezing or coughing, or both! So, that’s me. Started yesterday and so don’t like my chances of recording any sort of podcast. There’s enough to contend…
