My Bucket List
I’ve always wanted to have an “official” bucket list. Some people think the whole “list of things to do before I die” is a bit depressing – but I think it’s pretty cool! I like to have goals and things to look forward too. The most important thing about my list is that it’s realistic.…

UPDATE: Shanaz Restaurant Apology
I am overwhelmed with the response from my previous post “The Word “Normal” I do not regret writing about my experience, despite the backlash I received. The majority of people have been incredibly supportive and I want to thank you all for the lovely comments and help in sharing awareness of my story. I encourage…

The Word “NORMAL”
I HATE the word “Normal”. As mentioned in previous posts, I pride myself on being a positive person and keeping this blog as upbeat as possible. But sometimes humans get in the way of this… A few nights ago, a member of staff from the Shanaz Indian Restaurant in Truro, caused serious offence to myself…

Aeroplane Access – Through The Eyes of a Wheelchair User
Why are airlines so shite? I like to live by the motto “catch flights, not feelings” – but at this rate, I can’t do either. Disabled access has come so far in the last few years, but when it comes to travel – we have a long way to go! Wheelchair users can now stay…

The Belated Birthday
Another year older, another year wiser… or maybe not. This year I celebrated my 24th birthday by jumping on a plane to Corfu! Ok, maybe the word “jumping” is an exaggeration due to aeroplane access being SHOCKING! I LOVE birthdays and other special occasions, just not when they revolve around me. I’m the kind of…

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…

Adele – LIVE at Wembley
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…

More Bastille Photos – Eden Sessions 2017
Two weeks on and I am still buzzing from Bastille’s gig at the 2017 Eden Sessions. I am overwhelmed with the online support from my original post: Backstage with Bastille. Meeting the band was INSANE and receiving such lovely reactions from Bastille fan pages around the world has made my memories of that night even…

Keep Your Hands To Yourself…
Today I’m going to talk about why it’s not ok to pat a wheelchair user on the head. This has happened to me several times recently and although it may seem trivial to some – it has really bugged me and I need to get it off my chest… I pride myself on being a…
