To whom it may concern
I’d just like to compliment the RAC on their actions when I broke down on the 16th of march. They were very , very quick in doing what was required. My support worker ,knew exactly what had happened ie wrong fuel put in my van and they got me home in [...]

Just been out on the buses, no problems so far.
I travelled on the bus to Caernarfon to see how things were. Everything was okay.
I only did a short bus journey today as I had things to do, normally I do much longer trips.
I like to think that me travelling about on the buses helps keep [...]

Something I will be spending more time investigating in the near future is the provision of low floor bus transport in rural communities.
I met a lady on the bus this afternoon who comes from the village of Llanfair TH and she pointed out to me that there was no low floor bus service between her [...]

Tom, a reporter for the daily Post, came round today to do an video interview with me concerning what its like to travel on buses if you’re disabled. We went out and travelled through Llandudno on a bus so Tom could see what it is like for a wheelchair user.

Well, what an eventful day! I had to drop some posters off in Graig Park, Dyserth, today for Kerry and stopped to get diesel on the way. Unfortunately, Chris, my support worker, managed to put petrol in the tank instead! All was well until we got back into the car in Dyserth and it wouldn’t [...]

I was sitting here thinking earlier about people who have been important to me in various ways in the past. There have been so many, it’s difficult to remember them all. Friends, Teachers, Schoolmates, Medical staff who have helped me along the way, and many others, like the Newspaper Staff who I work with.
But, there [...]

We’ve all heard of this infamous phrase. It relates to the way some people talk to the person standing next to or behind the wheelchair, and not to the person with the disability. It’s happened to me on many occasions, and I can tell you, it is very annoying!
I travel by public transport quite a [...]
Fly-posting!

Ok, so I haven’t exactly been illegally fly-posting, more like politely asking first! But today I went round putting up a few posters to advertise the blog and hopefully attract some more interest.
I started off in Prestatyn, at a pub called the Nant Hall. Everyone there was lovely, and they even opened the door for [...]
