Yesterday was pretty epic as I travelled to Wales for a few days R&R, sightseeing and photography. It all started Friday evening when we took Cody to the kennels. He is staying with the people we bought him from and where he will see his Mum, Brother and friends. He seemed quite happy and I […]

This morning involved a trip across to Peterborough at the Mobility Aids Centre to pick up my wheelchair, an Ottobock Motus CS. It was the first time I had seen it in the colour I ordered and it looked even better than I imagined. I knew that this wheelchair was heavier and would be harder […]

Yesterday I was at The Mobility Aids Centre, Peterborough looking for a wheelchair. Now I have probably one of the best wheelchairs already, definitely one of the lightest in the world, it is great but can be really impractical to travel anywhere with it. Sure it folds down but only the wheels come off, cushion […]
