  • 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…

  • Christmas In Cleethorpes-part 1

    It’s became a tradition that I go to my daughter for Christmas. I left home on the 22nd December weighed down with my gifts for my daughter and grandson… and the gifts from my sister and eldest son… plus of course my clothes for the next 8 days. 2 back packs, and a messenger bag…

  • Bus Hide and Seek

    Too many times people get confused… If I’m blind how can I see. This video is me describing my experience while waiting for my bus. https://youtube.com/shorts/nzViNW2QzTg?si=_FfDN-WqdnX2O8tb And this is the text of a recent instagram post I made sharing the video. “The video is of me describing my experience waiting for a bus as a…

  • While I still can (part 2)

    To see a short video of me arriving at Cattal check out this link https://youtube.com/shorts/9-C1mufnKcU?si=ST-5p6z9dc357f1p I thought perhaps my friend’s husband hadn’t arrived as I couldn’t see a blur on the platform, however he was on the York to Leeds side of the station as he hadn’t realised I was on the Leeds to York…

  • While I can! (part 1)

    The title of this blogpost is my new mantra. Losing most of my sight and becoming by medical definition blind didn’t make me give up the things I love once I found the tools I needed to adapt how I did things. Struggling with symptoms from my newly diagnosed MS (multiple sclerosis) has already caused…

  • Travelling home

    Aka A nightmare journey? I’ve learned that rail journeys are never straightforward at holiday times (Christmas and Easter) and today was no exception. It began well arriving at Cleethorpes station in plenty of time and being taken straight to the train and seated. I’d be changing at a new to me station, Retford in Nottinghamshire…

  • 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…

  • What a journey!

    I’m visiting my daughter in Cleethorpes and had a Murphy’s law type of journey (anything that could go wrong, went wrong). Unlike on previous journeys like that I didn’t get stressed. As ever I’d prepared the night before so just needed to add a couple of items to my backpack (wash bag and iPad). So…

  • A stressful journey after Christmas in Cleethorpes.

    Due to problems I was having with this blog (I couldn’t get posts to publish) I wasn’t blogging over Christmas but wanted to share this thread of tweets I wrote the day after the journey in question “Yesterday’s train trip home was a bit chaotic thanks to #StormGerritSome delays meant getting home nearly an hour…
