EVERYONE HAS A VOICE – NEVER LET IT BE SILENCED.
Life is like a jigsaw puzzle in many ways. It can be confusing, often difficult, leaving you living on the edge, questioning why you’re here or what you’re doing. If anything, it only makes sense when you finish it and the whole map is set out before you.
I’ve been trying to work out mine for a few years now. It’s been an eclectic mix of disasters, people, triumphs and events, helping mould me into the person I am. It’s something I would never wish to change.
For me writing about my experiences and helping raise awareness of disability, is my way of filling in the pieces, it’s cathartic if you like.
Nothing is impossible in life, if you know what is before you, and you know yourself. Just keep the faith and you will be surprised where it takes you.
Fear can hold you prisoner: Hope will set you free
I have lived with MS for so long now. Its becoming harder to remember the times before it metaphorically kicked my front door in and became an intangible part of life. Don’t get me wrong I’m no lover of it and I’ll never let it break me. A lifetime battling it has left me hardened, […]
Time to dismantle the lies consuming us
The arguments about diet and food and what we put in our bodies have been doing the rounds for years now. When I first put the rudimentary ideas for the disabled chef together the main Crux of the idea was to make people eat better food and to cook, helping improve their health and subsequent […]
Smiths has a great ambiance, breaks down barriers and offers an excellent evening out
I’m not one for writing restaurant reviews but I had a great night out at Smiths, in Exeter last night. Set in Magdalen road, St Leonards – which sits just outside the city centre, the area has a lovely breeze and a village feel to it. Many independent shops populate the area and it […]
an administration hell bent on peoples interests and not their own greed, could work wonders.
I’ve lived in London for most of my life but recently returned to Devon where I’d resided for a period in the 1980’s. My wife Julie and I purchased a Bungalow and converted it to make it accessible because of my disability, for the record I’m confined to a wheelchair because of MS. We […]
It’s as close to my own personal Hamman as I’ll ever get
I’ve only ever been to Istanbul once when on a jolly with some mates. It’s a beautiful, vibrant city and I had a great time for 3 days. The Bosphorus beauty was enchanting, the Hajia Sofia jaw dropping and the food and hospitality excellent. However my abiding memory of the City where East meets […]
Betfuck upset the Apple cart as the Magnificent seventh season kicks off
The magnificent seventh season of the CofE is nearly upon us. Managers across the universe are putting the final touches to their squads and dreaming of the ultimate prize in fantasy sport. Yet before a ball has been kicked an angry war of words has broken out. Accusations of foul play, match fixing and […]
Down from London (DFL) – You having a Turkish mate?
Departure day from London and I’m feeling a lot of trepidation. Don’t get me wrong, we are moving to a beautiful place near Exeter with an incredible view looking out towards the Exe estuary. We’ve had this bungalow re-modelled and created a brilliant living space. It’s fully accessible (if you didn’t know I’m in a […]
Now this is a test
Hopefully everyone West side is ok. Shocking news that the death toll could reach over 600. If ever there is an example of extreme global warming this is it. Greece had very similar fires in the summer and moorland across the UK simmered away consistently throughout the heatwave. God knows what the winter is going […]
