Last week I was invited to Madrid by the huge national Spanish Charity, Once. They are funded from the sales of lottery tickets, and run many projects for disabled people. Their staff and board of trustees are heavily represented by disabled people which I applaud. The conference was to celebrate technology and tourism in the… Continue Reading
Daily Perspective
‘F’ the Fear
Like many others, I had lost interest in politics over recent times. It’s really sad because I used to love watching the political news, reading articles, chatting to my mate Rich (Dicky) Currie, and tuning in for Thursday night BBC politics program ‘this week’. As with all gradual changes, I didn’t realise how disinterested I’d… Continue Reading
One Week
It’s Thursday night. It’s raining. I’ve just written an update to 28 amazing people who backed my Kickstarter over the halfway mark, already. Beyond feeling confident we’ll hit the £2200 target towards the costs of publishing my first book, it’s got me feeling all philosophical and reflective. So I thought I’d share my last week… Continue Reading
Disability Awareness: how it benefits everyone
It’s already been a month since returning from the big roadtrip. I’ve been catching up, stabilising, and proactively improving my health/work/social bits and bobs.

And along the way I’ve had some awesome adventures; hot air ballooning in Catalonia, scuba diving in Tenerife travelling from… Continue Reading
Europe Without Barriers: Day 12, 13 and 14 (Arrivederci and Goodbye)
We left the stunning Dolomite mountains with a cumulative fatigue. Despite the amazing places, people and memories on the trip; driving from Slovenia to the Italian mountains and two day later to Austria was tough. Below you can see the tranquil views we left behind on day 12. After Kasia drove behind the blue team… Continue Reading
Europe Without Barriers: Day 9, 10 and 11
I hope you all enjoyed the video from Ljubljana and Postojna caves (day 8). It was a team collaboration between myself, Stefano Massoli (Italian media guru) and Kasia (a true up and coming photographer). I think it really highlighted how we are travelling ‘Europe Without Barriers’ despite the potential issues while having a great time…. Continue Reading
