Yeah couldn’t do it because of that unless it’s in someone’s else’s name. Also they’re fail Ely big where on earth would I keep it 😂. Yeah it’s incredibly patronising.

Yes I’ve got into some really heated discussions about trampers ! Someone even suggesting I should crowdfund for one … never met me or funnily enough seen my medical records. I think don’t want to face the really that not everyone’s equal.

Thanks ☺️

I know I’m doing something highly unusual a woman taking nature photos but also someone who can’t sit up for more than an hour a day. It’s really not flattering to be lumped into every other photographer who can walk miles. Anyway rant over. It’s just it happens every few days on social media.

Can I just ask why do people say have I tried a two mile walk over bumpy ground even when they see my wheelchair in my profile picture. For heavens sake ! I’m so sick of the default point that everyone is able bodied. And no I can’t use a tramper they’re not medically designed mobility vehicles.

Late Neolithic? statue Menhir, possibly reworked in the Gallo-roman period. 1.65m high and now standing guard at the entrance to St Martin's Church. Guernsey.🏺

I also walked those streets as well as many more dubious Norwich ones this wasn’t there then, I left in 99 😊. Nights of Cycling or walking home over puddles of blood down Magdalen street. Then I visited Devon, a fairy tale world. I never looked back 🙂. Give me hills and safety.

Funny how right wing commentators/ politicians backed bombing a school but now oil prices have risen are against the war. Despicable.

These two have a great relationship having grown up together. I often hear the laddish jokes from my bathroom … gets a bit much if I’m honest sometimes…

Genius.

Devonport leat and a huge beech tree, near Burrator reservoir yesterday, remember all my photos are taken in my hour out near a road because of my health and mobility. The rest of the week is spent laying down between using my wheelchair to move. #Dartmoor, #Devon. #photography #disability

And there’s mistakes in that I’m tired and Bluesky doesn’t let one edit thanks for reading 👍.

Miraculously better. I haven’t in bit just not one of those people who drone on about their health all the time. I’m not a warrior or a hero it’s just boring 🤣. my photos are different. I’m only able to go out in the afternoons health wise and only for an hour. Just a reminder 👍.

I have to say this every few months I am an unwell wheelchair user, I’m not going to be getting up at dawn and walking miles on the moor. I can walk but only five metre at at time. I can’t sit up very long to travel. When you have a chronic illness if you don’t mention it people assume you’ve got
