https://scotspokessite.wordpress.com/2014/08/28/its-been-a-while
Life in Scotland with a disability. It’s been a while….(DIS). June 2013 it appears! Sorry I have been away for so long folks, life has been incredibly busy. I’ve really enjoyed the course however, it’s been a very engaging subject, and the good thing is that (all being well with my marks,) it will hopefully increase my employment opportunities. Definitely going to try and find work at some point within the next year. You’d have to have a death wish! Https:/ www.youtube.com/watch? I have been mulling over...

Hope!(DIS) – Scotspokes

Life in Scotland with a disability. If you remember back in April I wrote a post about my trip to the highlands over Easter and how I lamented the difficulty that disabled people face when they want to explore mother nature to the full. Well, I was watching BBC Reporting Scotland this evening and I saw a story which featured something pretty awesome. Http:/ www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-glasgow-west-22600932.

Life in Scotland with a disability. My heart WAS in the Highlands . . . (DIS). Now it’s back in the central belt, along with the rest of my internal organs (I think so anyway! I had a great Easter weekend away there with my family. My Dad’s side of the family (Aunts, Uncles and Cousins) and I rent out a large house near Fort William for the long weekend. It’s always fun.

https://scotspokessite.wordpress.com/2013/05/19/random-thought-2
Life in Scotland with a disability. Since I already posted something this week, thought I would use this post to share a thought I had earlier. I was visiting my sister in Glasgow, and before coming to the edge of a steep pavement which I couldn’t go down safely by myself. I asked my father: “Dad, you OK to help me get down from the pavement? Anyway, none of this probably makes sense, but if you’ve been reading my blog regularly this probably wont surprise you! Have a great week! May 19, 2013. Good to he...

Life in Scotland with a disability. Driving me crazy (A.K.A Driving Post Part 2). So, I am going to be getting a new car sometime within the next 12 weeks! For starters, the biggest change has been that I have actually learned how to drive. I have my license, and I don’t need to rely on my parents or carer to drive me anywhere. The freedom it has given me has been fantastic (and as I mentioned in my earlier driving post, if you want to do it, GO FOR IT! And this is where the problems begin. Now I just ne...

Life in Scotland with a disability. Driving: Or how I learned to terrify the general public(DIS). Ah the good ol’ motorcar. For a disabled person, the use of a car can sometimes be one of the essential tools in living an independent lifestyle. As well as the general everyday benefits it provides, for a disabled person it provides the best of alternative to the awkwardness and inaccessibility of public transport, especially for wheelchair users like myself. But before you can actually start terrifying oth...
