Potholes, pushers and plush eateries

Ok, so please be patient with me .."... first ever blog ! Thanks to Lise and her persistence with setting it all up for me ! ........ Gotta love her enthusiasm to solve all IT problems.

Not much to see with regards my profile, surfice to say that I will add all those details shortly. As I mentioned, this blog is about my journey of discovering my legs again in London from a wheelchair user's point of view - intent on capturing the humerous, painful, frustrated etc etc etc side of disabled people living in London. I value everyones input, comments and and surgestions with enabling a better life for all.

Sooooooo, newly injurded, discharged from spinal rehab, and moving into my own digs,  did not seem to be an overwhelming feat, and immediatly started making social plans - gotta get life back, gotta create the hectic regime together from my previous life of two abled legs that got me around the beautiful city of London - enjoy now......pay later !!!

Saturday - Lunch with Jen and Tess , lovely resturaunt called the ' Garrison ', situated in a really buzzy road in the heart of Bermondsey - Ironically, Bermondsey Street. Well worth a visit for the ecclectic mix of shabby chic and antique stores. The Garrison has one step up access, amazingly helpful staff, who went out of their way to make access as easy as one could hope for - Menue great, prices, by London standards really good - well worth a visit.

Having said the above, Bermondsey Street is fully cobbled, quite long , lacks ramps and plays havoc with ones spasms !!!

Sunday was spent enjoying the good weather with my good friends, Lise and John, who travelled down from Bristol to deliver some furniture. Amazing roast of the day at the local called ' The Gregorian  ' Another good find - ramp access and friendly staff - No Cards , cash only.

As this is my first post, I have elected to keep a rather sedate tone ! Will definitly spice up the game as soon as I master this bogging thing . Until then .........

  6. Interesting read Gav, just goes to show all the little luxuries that the legged people take for granted. Now you can have your say and name and shame the companies that are not wheel chair friendly. Love the regular updates. Xxx
