I heard a story before about a guy fishing in a remote lake. Whether it was true I’m unsure and who told me I can’t recall. However the story was of a city slicker visiting this beautiful lake for a holiday, and he spotted a fisherman. The story goes on that the fisherman was prolific,… Continue Reading

Don’t Deny Your True Self
When we are growing up our parents and teachers give us guidance. People often debate the benefits of structure v self discovery. Good parents and good teachers give us both. We need enough parameters to get started and have some direction. However we also need space and time to understand ourselves. Our dreams, our likes,… Continue Reading
Changing the World: For Beginners
Under my email signature it says ‘World Changer’. A very grand statement that can appear arrogant or apply an unnecessary amount of pressure. However my interpretation and intention is neither of these. At the moment I’m trying to arrange transport in Poland for December. It’s so we can see my Kasia’s parents over Christmas this… Continue Reading

However to adapt a gondola for a 130kg wheelchair is unthinkable. As you’ll see once again – everything is possible. You can watch all the action in… Continue Reading

The car was packed with my disability equipment too (hoist and shower chair). We sailed from Plymouth to Santander… Continue Reading
Accessible Skiing in Catalonia
It’s not so surprising to hear that Kasia and I visited Barcelona again last week. We do love a little trip there! What is less known, however, are the reasons why we went this time and what we got up to. I was kindly invited by the Catalan Tourist Board to speak at their conference… Continue Reading
