Wheelchair Roller Skating

Roller skating in a wheelchair? Completed it mate. If you're a regular reader of my blog, then you'll know that I love to push boundaries, try new activities and challenge disability stereotypes. Last week I had the opportunity to go roller skating! Yep, you heard that right. Tell me something I can't do... (except walking, that's just cruel) I had such a good time, that I felt it only necessary to share my experience in the form of a video, as photos will never do justice to

HarbourQ ~ Foodie Review

It's a well known theory that if you send positive vibes out into the universe, your life will be rewarded. So I'mma just put it out there... "I LOVE FOOD!" Stick a fork in me, I'm done. As a proper foodie at heart, I love discovering new places to eat in and around Cornwall. I've said it before - and I'll say it again - a good recommendation can go a long way! So with that being said, today's post is all about 'HarbourQ' - a new pop-up diner in the heart of Charlestown. When

Nitro Circus: Butlins Weekender 2019

Hello annual leave, I've missed you. What better way to start your holiday than a weekend away with some of your best mates?! I wasn't sure how best to start this post... 1. Because I am absolutely knackered 2. The camera will never do justice to how epic this weekend was Organised by the brilliant team at Active8, we arrived at Butlins early evening on Friday. After dropping down our bags and grabbing a cheeky slice of pizza, we headed for the Nitro Circus opening party. Upd

Comfort is Key

I've been feeling a little under the weather recently and upon my death bed (yep, we all know how dramatic I am by now) I realised how often we take things for granted. I mean, life was so much better without a runny nose. One thing that I think we all take for granted is our comfort. As someone who has to sit in the same position for 90% of their day, this is something that is really important to me. Always keen for a little life hack, I am super excited to team up with the

Spice Up Your Life - Cardiff 2019

It's been a while since I've posted... So hey! How's it going? As I sit here feeling very sorry for myself - nose dripping, chest coughing and head throbbing - I thought I'd give you a little update. Although I was't planning on writing a post about my recent trip to Cardiff, I stumbled across this throwback pic and I HAD to share it. Sorry Dad. Also, can we just appreciate the irony of me being sporty spice? LOL So if you hadn't guessed already, I recently saw the Spice Girl

Disney on Ice - Motorpoint Arena, Cardiff

First things first, you are NEVER too old for a bit of Disney. I was lucky enough to recently be invited by Feld Entertainment, to attend Disney on Ice's VIP night at the Motorpoint Arena in Cardiff. I have never been to Wales before (that I can remember), so this in itself was an exciting prospect. I decided to film a little video of my experience below. I managed to capture a little snippet of each act, as I didn't want to spoil the whole show. As we all know, I am no vlogg

Making Life That Little Bit Easier - Disabled Product Reviews

I'm a typical boy when it comes to toys, I LOVE a new gadget. When looking for accessible products to try, I like things that are small and subtle, as it’s often the little things that can really make a big difference. For today’s post, I thought I would show you my ‘top 3 finds’ on the Betterlife website. *Disclaimer* This post is in collaboration with Lloyds Pharmacy. These gifted products have been tried and tested by myself and as always, my opinions are entirely honest.

Accessible UV Rave - Buzz Fitness Cornwall

I recently attended an event with 'Buzz Fitness Cornwall' in collaboration with Active8 - a disability charity that I have been involved with for many years. I had no intention of writing a review but as the evening was so enjoyable, I felt it was important to mark the occasion. Now I'm going to be honest, when I first signed up to this event, I didn't actually realise it was a fitness class. I know I can be a little scatty at times and yes the clue is in the name... but I ge

Shadows & Light: Eden Project VLOG

It's official... I am the WORLD'S WORST VLOGGER! I was recently invited to a 'preview night' at the Eden Project's latest seasonal event: Shadows & Light. As a fan of all things festive, this really was a dream come true. I have visited the Eden Project several times over the years and to be given the opportunity to write a review - before the event was even open to the public - was a real honour. I decided to switch things up a bit and film my experience in the style of a vl

Cirque du Vulgar (18+) ★★★★★

Disclaimer: This post contains content of an adult theme. Tickets to this event were gifted to me, in return for an honest review. Sometimes it's good to push the boundaries, and today's blog post is definitely doing that. After the success of The Greatest Showman in cinemas earlier this year, I was excited to be given the opportunity to review Cirque du Vulgar - a night of risqué live entertainment, featuring stunning strip-tease routines, daredevil stunts and filthy comedy.

MTV's Ocean City Sounds ★★★★✩

Festival season is finally upon us!! What with the recent heatwave, it's safe to say this summer is turning out to be good one. Last week I went to MTV's Ocean City Sounds in Plymouth. I wasn't intending on writing a blog post about it, however I was so impressed with the access that I couldn't leave it go unnoticed. As we all know, I love a good gig. You can always count on me to crack out a floral shirt and rock some dodgy dance moves. This year's headlining act was Bastill

Sarah Millican LIVE - Regal Theatre ★★★★✩

As a bit of a cheeky chappy myself, I love watching comedians perform live. Despite what you see on TV, you can never really judge how funny someone is until you see them handle a live audience, or a good heckler. AND I LOVE A GOOD HECKLER! Sarah Millican was one of the few comedians left that I hadn't seen live - until now! I wouldn't say I was her biggest fan before, but I've always thought she's been funny on the few panel shows I've seen. She's not the type of character I

The Fundamentals of Caring ★★★★✩

Today's post is something a little different. Although I don't usually write film reviews on my blog, I really wanted to share this one with you. "The Fundamentals of Caring" is a Netflix Original film which was recently recommended to me. It was released a couple of years ago, so apologies I'm a little late to the party! Without giving too much away, the story follows a young guy called Trevor, who has Muscular Dystrophy. Trevor embarks on a road trip with his caregiver Ben

Michael McIntyre Live - ★★★★★

If you've been following my blog for a while now, you'll know I love a good live event. Whether it's music or comedy, there's something about a live show that excites me. Michael McIntyre is definitely one of my favourite comedians, so I was buzzing when he announced his world tour was coming back to Plymouth this year. This is actually the 3rd time I've seen him perform live. Back in 2015, a lady in the audience fell down the stairs and broke her leg. I too was poorly and en

Wheelchair Skating ★★★★★

Who would have thought that me, of all people, would be writing a post about ICE SKATING?! But hey... it's 2018 and not even a set of wheels could stop me from enjoying this activity. I've been skating several times in the past, but nothing compares to today's session. For the first time ever, I was allowed to independently control my electric wheelchair on the ice. This may sound trivial to some, but the message behind this post is so important. In all of my previous experie

In the words of Buddy himself... "The best way to spread christmas cheer, is singing loud for all to hear!" It's safe to say I'm feeling the festive love. What could be better than watching one of your favourite christmas films live on stage?! Today I'm sharing my review of ELF - The Musical. I tried to get tickets last year, but the event was so quick to sell out that I missed it! So when I saw the production was coming back on tour in Plymouth this year, I snapped up ticket

Imagine living a life in Cornwall where you couldn't go to the beach... pretty grim isn't it?! On behalf of Cornwall Mobility and Falmouth University, I took to the sands in order to review their new Beach Wheelchair Prototypes! I was super excited to test these out as I LOVE the beach and I'm also a sucker for a new toy! If you're a regular reader of my blog, you'll also know that I'm not afraid to voice my opinion.

The London Dungeons ★★★★✩

If you'd have asked me a few years ago to watch a horror film or visit somewhere like the London Dungeons - I would have probably ran over your foot in disgust. I'm not sure what has happened to me recently, or where this daredevil has come from - but I kinda like the "fear factor" feeling. On our recent trip to London, going to the Dungeons was the number one attraction on our list of 'touristy things to do'. I had no idea what to expect and I was genuinely surprised at how

HELLO, it's me... I was wondering if after all these years you'd like to... GO AND SEE ADELE PERFORM LIVE? Yes please. Ask any of my friends or family what the number one thing on my bucket list is and they will all answer the same: seeing Adele perform live. Back in March 2016, this dream came true when I travelled to the O2 Arena in London with my superfan-bestie. 15 months later and I am back on the road to watch her again!! Yes, I am greedy like that.

After a recent trip to The Calvert Trust, I didn’t even have to think twice about writing a positive review. I had the most incredible adventure weekend – and I am more than happy to share my story and recommend this awesome place. The Calvert Trust is a charity-driven centre based in Exmoor, near Barnstaple. It’s aim is to “enable people with physical, learning, behavioral and sensory disabilities to experience exciting and challenging outdoor activities.” The last time I vi
