Back on Board

.Reading time 10 minutes.
Taken from the rider's view on a horse, a white horse's ears and top of neck. the background is a stoney track with grass verges and hedges on either side.

If you follow me on any social media platforms, you might have already seen that, at the beginning of this week, I got back in the saddle; well, the metaphorical saddle, as I was actually on bareback! It was a spur of the moment thing, although I’ve known for a little while that it wouldn’t […]

Farmer-On-Wheels

.Reading time 11 minutes.
A photo of a girl (Holly) in an electric wheelchair with elevated legs, lunging a light bay horse in a grass field.

This started off as an appreciation post for my new power-chair, but it’s become so much more. I hope you’ll bear with me, as I think it’s an important topic to cover whatever your current health status.

A collage of 3 photos, headshots of the same girl. Photo 1: A girl smiling at the camera, with shoulder length brown hair, wearing a purple t-shirt with white text saying “It’s real, it’s physical, it’s M.E.”.

Anybody else wondering where April has gone, or is it just me? Although, can you really call it April […]

.Reading time 6 minutes.
A wooden table top with blank paper and a pen and black coffee in a white mug.

This blog post is a bit of a personal one, it’s something which has been on my mind for quite some time. I feel like it’s something we all need reminding of every now and then, I know I certainly do, so I thought I would finally get it off my chest. Here goes… A […]

A Flat of One Bedroom

.Reading time 4 minutes.
A background of blue forget-me-nots with the words “adapt to thrive, not just to survive.”

What if I told you I could cook a roast dinner without leaving my bedroom? My room is more of a flat than a bedroom, it’s got everything you need to survive for at least a couple of weeks, including portable kitchen appliances. Like they say, when life gives you lemons, buy a mini oven […]
