If you’ve been a regular reader of my blogs, you’ll be aware that we look forward to the annual show that Circus Starr brings to town. Circus Starr are a not-for-profit organisation, relying on local donations from the towns that they visit so that they can put on a fantastically, inclusive show for disabled and disadvantaged children […]
This post would have been different yesterday, 12th October. It wouldn’t have been positive, in fact I doubt I’d have completed it. Yesterday marks two years since my first both feet operation and it’s fair to say that I’ve lost my way since then, finding that the tools which used to be so handy for […]
It’s been a day of smiles today. Smiles for D as she headed back to school into a class with her teachers from last year and knowing who her classmates will be – which is so important when it comes to preparing her for the new school year. Smiles as she and T headed […]
For as long as we can remember, bunnies have been very important to D. Her faithful and much-loved companion is Bunny, Bunny spent much of D’s life either held by her ears or tucked under D’s armpit which she ate/drew or needed to concentrate.

There’s a few things that D and I share a love of and one of them is music. Whether it’s listening to it (if she’s in the right mood), singing along (ditto) or playing it. She has the opportunity to have flute lessons at her SN school and is doing very well with them. […]
It’s been a bit of a busy week for D, two hospital trips for me have impacted on the after school routines for her and the activities at school really step up a gear after the May half term, what with Proms week, Sports Day and end of term activities rapidly looming. In addition to […]
Our D was 14 yesterday, can you believe it?! It was a day in which plans which had been made were changed and, although the morning had started early and angst-filled, ended happily, thanks in part to this little Koala (or Violet as D has named her): We had planned to go to the […]
