The COVID situation is getting more intense, my area and surrounding counties being classed as Tier 3, although I see so many people not following the “guidance”, I’m not hugely surprised to see that the plans for another lockdown have now been leaked. Anyway, Happy Halloween! Introducing Rupert I would like to introduce my newContinue reading “October 2020”

September 2020
Well, we’re back in local lockdown (again!) – still bizarre rules. Its fine to go shopping in a mask but not fine to sit in my garden and talk to anyone (my neighbour jokingly suggested we removed a fence panel then we could have a chat from our own gardens). Given the infection rate isContinue reading “September 2020”
5th September 2020 – A year since I left hospital
Well, it is a year today since I was discharged from the hospital, following my accident. It was lovely to be home, especially sleeping at night without buzzers going, and of course being reunited with Paddington. It was also a difficult time. Hardly any adaptions had been done, the stairlift was literally installed a coupleContinue reading “5th September 2020 – A year since I left hospital”
July 2020 – Accessibility and Hedgehogs
The COVID restrictions were lifting, and it was lovely to have a few trips out – including visiting my local pub for lunch – happy days! Then on Thursday – local lockdown hits! I’m on the border of Greater Manchester, ironically my local authority had the smallest number of cases and even with the increaseContinue reading “July 2020 – Accessibility and Hedgehogs”
June 2020 – Accessible Adventures and Hedgehogs
The lockdown restrictions are gradually easing, although judging from the media some are taking the spirit of this much further than intended! Currently, the figures aren’t reflecting these liberal interpretations – lets hope is stays that way. My uncle was discharged from hospital 2 weeks ago and went back to his temporary care home. IContinue reading “June 2020 – Accessible Adventures and Hedgehogs”
May 2020 – Wildlife
Lockdown is beginning to ease slightly, it will be interesting to see if there is a second spike – particularly given some people appear to have taken this to mean “let normal life resume!”. There was talk of infections rising following the VE day celebrations when apparently social distancing went out of the window forContinue reading “May 2020 – Wildlife”
4th May 2020
It was a year ago today, that a freak accident in the stable changed my life forever. I’d had a lovely afternoon with Tally. Then a few hours later, in a split second, my life was turned upside down. The NHS swung into action and after a night in ICU, performed surgery to install titaniumContinue reading “4th May 2020”
April 2020
These are strange times, the country is still in lockdown and probably will be for a while longer. I’ve been feeding the birds in my garden for sometime and have been trying to get some nice photos. By a complete fluke I managed to take this from the conservatory. I then went on to getContinue reading “April 2020”
March 2020 – Lockdown happens!
March has turned into a strange old month, started off positively and now life feels like its warped into a dystopian film, with whole countries being on lockdown. The Beginning I was feeling much better and had gone back to meeting up with friends for lunch. I even plucked to the courage for my firstContinue reading “March 2020 – Lockdown happens!”
February 2020
February has been a quiet month, mainly because I’ve been recovering from my stay in hospital and haven’t done much. I started to feel better towards the end of the month returning to work the last week of Feb. Spinal Cord Injury (SCI) 101 As I’ve had a quiet month, I thought some background onContinue reading “February 2020”
