Reach For The Stars With Abbie

Hi all, I thought this would be a nice post to share about going to London as a wheelchair user. A trip into London in a wheelchair  I spent last weekend in London and I thought i’d share my experience with using my wheelchair in a busy and popular city. On the Saturday, me and my boyfriend Victor pre-booked the train tickets as we had to book the support at either end to get the ramp put down on the train doors, so I could get on and the train safely. Train lines are great if they get it right, luckily on this trip, they were spot on and we made it into London with a relaxed journey. I think I was able to get around London well in my wheelchair and was impressed that all black cabs are accessible. It was a lot easier knowing that cabs took wheelchairs so this enabled us to get around and see a lot more. As London is a busy city with a large amount of people commuting to and from work, visiting people and like us, exploring, I found it got busier at certain times b

A letter to my younger self  I thought this would be a nice idea and I have seen this beautifully done before, so I thought I'd give this a go. Dear my younger self  I know you are finding growing up a challenge and struggling with school, exams and trying to keep up with therapies. But it will be good for you in the long run. I know you are scared about loud noises and you hate when you know fire alarm test coming but just relax and let it go. Noises will always be your fear but you will learn to work through them and learn that they are there to keep us safe. You will become more independent and won’t have to strongly rely on people to support but you will learn to be very grateful for their help. You will get a better understanding of your disability and start to learn how you can do personal tasks yourself throughout the day. Things will be tough but you are strong enough to face your fears and in the long run will make you see life on a easier route.   Lif

Hello Just wanted to start the New Year with a blog post. You will start to see a lot more of me as I want to step up my blogging a lot this year. 2019 was an amazing year with lots of wonderful things achieved. To be honest I wasn't sure how the the rest of the year would go after leaving college. However I was totally surprised how much I was able to do and set up with help from my family.  I thought coming home from college would be strange for me but I was happy to be home and back into family and home life. I know that every year can have their ups and downs and we can't make everything go our way, however we can make the best of whatever we have and be happy with what we have.  I am so happy with how 2019 went and I am excited to see if 2020 will be even better! I am not setting any New Year resolutions but I just want the year to be filled with happiness, love and laughter. I do believe if these three things are a part of the year, we don't need much else to
