I'm off on a 17 day adventure on a cargo ship in a few months' time. Felixstowe to the Canaries, then up the coast of Spain and back. It's the sort of trip I've been wanting to do for many years. My first experience of such a voyage was as a 24 year old 'hitching' a lift to Lisbon on MV "Biak". Now, as a bus-pass carrying senior, it's time to get on with these things before it's too late. However, the upper age limit for travelling this way varies so have a look at www.cargoshipvoyages.com for more info.
The Ability Coach - taking the Dis out of Disability will be on sale later this year. Want to know more? Have a look at my blog which I promise to update regularly in 2012.
It was great to revisit Burton-on-Trent Fibromyalgia Support Group on June 21st just 2 years after my first visit. The group, which meets at Burton library is of the most positive, forward thinking support groups it has been my privilege to meet. Amongst the serious issues we aired there was much laughter and some truly wonderful stories of how people have turned their life around whilst managing the chronic pain and fatigue of FM. If you live anywhere near Burton, do email burtonfibros@hotmail.co.uk for more information about the group.
Welcome to this new website which was launched officially on May 23rd 2011.
There will be updates and some tweaking as time goes on, but it is great to feel that what I do is reflected well in what you are able to see on your screen.
My thanks go to Rob at DotCafe Designs but particularly Jonathan for all his hard work in building the site and turning my thoughts into reality. It’s been a learning curve for all of us and I’m looking forward to being taught how to manage the site myself as much as possible in the next few months.
