  • Christmas In Cleethorpes- part 3

    It was time for my journey home. We got to the station early enough to visit the prom and see the “sea”. Yes I’m very aware the Humber is a tidal estuary so not the sea. The wind was bitingly cold and I was only gloveless a short time as I’d just taken a few…

  • The Singing bridge

    A wide concrete pedestrian walkway along a waterfront under a clear blue sky. On the left side of the walkway, there is a sturdy concrete barrier followed by a fence with narrow vertical posts. Beyond the fence, there is a blue structure that appears industrial or architectural. On the right side of the walkway, there…

  • My Brain v Reality

    Walking along my brain sees a Chelsea Pensioner stood to attention in the hedge… thank you Charles Bonnet Syndrome The reality:- Old red postbox covered in ivy. The paint on the postbox is chipped and peeling, revealing rust and signs of age. Green ivy climbs up the left side, blending with surrounding leafy plants. The…

  • After 40 minutes in a helltube (MRI)

    Today a friend from church came to be my human guide dog when I had to go for an MRI. It was a repeat of my previous one that confirmed I have a brain and knackered optic nerves (20 minutes of noisy claustrophobia) with a 2nd set to check if I have a spine (another…

  • A favourite photo

    This is the description I got for this photo I took 14 months ago. It was amongst the first I described using the Be My Ai mode of Be My Eyes and I wrote a blog draft in my Files app and forgot to copy and upload it to this blog. “The picture shows a…

  • Circumstances Beyond Our Control

    That’s most definitely what today could be entitled. Woke up with everything aching after a couple of hours moving around and adding the last bits to my backpack I tried it on and my body said are you insane I’m not walking to the station so took up Cat’s offer of a taxi. Having got…

  • International Market

    The Market is mostly about food and after being delayed by rain the weather app hadn’t predicted we left a little after we had planned. We got there during our lunchtime window after walking through the town and the first food we saw was the churros that my grandson was eager to have. After he’d…

  • A Turkish meal and a walk along the Cleethorpes Prom

  • What a Facebook memory

    4th May 2018 19 months after learning my sight loss diagnosis; 10 months after my white cane training; 6 months after moving across town to my new flat… I got fed up waiting for a sighted person to walk with me and wrote on Facebook:- “And this is the thing I could do today. On…

  • A muddy early spring walk

    As I’ve got older, and my eyesight has deteriorated you’d think that there was less for me to enjoy. Yesterday’s walk is a good example to share (16th February 2024). All photo collages described in the text beneath them. Flowers Left is a large photo I took by laying my iPhone under the snowdrops and…
