Well… I DESPERATELY don’t want to jinx this, but things are starting to look quite positive around here in England. Definitely a lot more positive than things have been before.

How Losing Your Sight Can Change Everything
For those of you who don’t know me personally, I started blogging in 2017. At the time I did not have my own blog, but I wrote many posts for my local sight loss charity. I was and still am very passionate about making people aware of the impact that losing your sight can have…
Coronavirus Diary – Page 15 (New Year, New Lockdown)
I should really start this post by saying Happy New Year, but I’m really not feeling it this year. Obviously I really hope that you do all have a great new year, but I’m not feeling so optimistic. Every new year’s eve I send everybody a text at midnight to wish them happy new year,…
Dressing Positively

Going into the lockdown my post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) has started to show it’s ugly mug again. The trauma I experienced was seven years ago. I spent three months in hospital and was in and out of critical care three times. I am obviously really thankful for this, because it saved my life. But…
Coronavirus Diary – Page 13 (Feeling slightly normal)
Today was the first day that I have had a proper day out since the end of March. I haven’t been shielding, but I haven’t had work to go to, so I have been stuck in the house for a long time. I do have a few serious medical conditions, so I have been trying…
Coronavirus Diary – Page 12 (Almost there)
Today the announcement was finally made that England would be easing the lockdown even further. It’s very complicated, but in some ways things should start to feel more normal soon. In other ways they will not feel normal at all because of all the social distancing measures that have been put in place. From July…
