Welcome to my blog. I post on this, roughly once a week (it does vary). I sustained a 'Traumatic Acquired Brain Injury', and a six month coma from a 'road traffic accident' whilst cycling, in October 2006. I spent the following 4 years (22-26yrs old), in a combination of hospitals and rehabilitation homes. Now, I have been living independently in Surbiton, England since October 2010. This blog begun life in December 2010, as i realised that there are many people worldwide that i want to share experiences with. I know that, as a wheelchair user, I am obviously not as mobile as i wish, so, use the internet to connect to you. I enjoy letting my thoughts represent through type. I type honestly. As numerous readers, as well as email recipients, will understand, I find typing to be very therapeutic. Thank you :)

Musical highlights - Diane Birch

I watched ‘Later with Jools Holland’, as I often do, and was enthralled by a new performer, as is often the case. I caught Diane Birch on the show, and then found a video of another live performance by this brilliant solo artist, online.



She regularly combines simple and strong piano work with wonderful female vocals. Her initial release, the ‘Bible Belt’ album, is personally my favourite of her two releases (the other being an EP). A lot of her heart-strung lyrics are very powerful, but she is not ‘depressing’ at all (as I admit that my music taste sometimes can be). A personal favourite, I can recommend her highly.
