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”
January 2020 – 4 pints later
Perhaps I shouldn’t have ended my last blog with “What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger”? I thought I’d had my quota of medical emergencies, but obviously not… I’d been riding the day before, and when I got off I landed awkwardly on my chair, I didn’t think too much about it (plus I’ve noContinue reading “January 2020 – 4 pints later”
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!”
October 2019 – The “works” continue
The bathroom was finished, and then there were issues with a leaking radiator (this was moved as part of the wet room conversion), which then lead to further issues with the central heating. This was all really stressful, combined with numerous visits to widen doorways and change the banisters on the landing to give meContinue reading “October 2019 – The “works” continue”
