We’re approaching the end of the national lockdown, but as my area is still Tier 3 – not a lot will be changing. The rates are beginning to drop in the area, so hopefully we’ll get downgraded to Tier 2 at some point, but with Christmas coming, the university students returning home, and all theContinue reading “November 2020”

October 2020
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”
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”
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!”
December 2019
I was determined to master going out alone in the car and sorting out the chair, so off I went. Unfortunately, when getting the chair out of the car I managed to trap my arm between the car and the chair “@@**@@**!”. The result being a very painful arm, black from elbow to wrist andContinue reading “December 2019”
November 2019 – I got back on a Horse!
The work in the house to make it more accessible has now finished (for the moment!), I’ve had a low threshold door fitted and can now get in and out of the house without the use of the threshold ramps (yeah!) which were both a nightmare to move from a wheelchair and rather precarious toContinue reading “November 2019 – I got back on a Horse!”
