Coping with life changes is never easy, is it? But there’s nothing to be done about it. It happens and we all have to manage our own particular challenges as best we may. For me, one of the unexpected and irritating aspects of my own situation was unexpected physical change and the impact this had […]
MoreI digress from personal style today as, having seen it on Youtube, I think the world needs to know about Access 007 Style for wheelchairs users in London. As cities go, London doesn’t do too badly for universal access even with its’ wonky streets and old buildings however it is far from 100% accessible for […]

MoreHaving gone ‘back to black’ in response to extreme physical challenges that have affected my weight, shape and mobility yet not my highly developed aesthetic senses, I am always interested to read about other women who have done the same.
