Welcome to my blog. It varies how regular I write posts here. 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 :)

Friday's trip to the City of London

 I know I am posting for a second time in two days. The reason being that I visited the 'City of London' with my Dad. I realise that I do travel a lot to central London, on my own, however guidance around the City was definitely needed. Thank you Dad. :)



The Corporation of London has an amazing, miniature, scaled model of Central London. The view, I know very well, Eastwards from Waterloo Bridge.



Outside of the Royal Exchange, an impressive war memorial.
Behind me is the view below, towards 'No1 Poultry'.



Some important places deserve recognition, even if it is just a sign! 


Art-Deco inspired icon - '68 Cornhill' designed in 1980s, inspired by Otto Wagner.



Leadenhall Market.
An absolutely amazing marketplace, with a vast history, scaling back to Roman London.
I look ahead.


I look right.


I look left.


I look up... WOW


Both my Dad and I can confirm that the Espresso is of good quality too!




A short distance away, brings us to the foot of the award-winning Lloyds Building (1986)


From this point, you are swamped by towers all competing against each other. Photos below show how little of the sky one can see.





We finish by travelling up 60 floors in a lift (wheelchair users are used to this experience, but this location - WOW).
