It's Christmas


Well, finally, I started into rehab for my injured ankle, although I'm rather frustrated at the mo, as the healing process is very slow. Just as I was becoming more mobile.....down came a heavy blanket of snow and grounded me!!!. Trying to work a white cane through thick snow is a nightmare, as you loose all your landmarks, like kerbs and changes of surface texture.

It might be pretty picturesque and seasonal, but, roll on the big thaw!!!.

On the 2nd Dec, I had the honour of helping switch on the Christmas tree lights and speaking at an event at Stormont in the run up to International Day for Persons with a Disability. It was a really lovely event and my thanks to the Speaker of the House, Mr. William Haye, for inviting me.

I would just like to take this opportunity to wish you all, a very merry Christmas and a happy, healthy, peaceful and prosperous New Year.
