WHATEVER your feelings on Brexit, there is one thing I know and that it is going to take over the next year of my life. I voted Remain for a complex set of reasons. I don’t think the arguments for either side were terribly good, and the rather stark question of being in or out was, to say the least, a blunt tool. It didn’t allow people who give a view on the single market, or customs union or a whole host of other things. I always thought it was going to cost a lot to leave, and the negotiation was going to be long and difficult when there were plenty of other things that I thought we should be dealing with, like austerity. There will be huge unforeseen consequences of withdrawing from the EU and there are loads of areas that have not even vaguely come up for discussion yet.

A Stairlift Purchase Is Not The End Of Your Life, But The Beginning Of A New One!
GETTING up and down stairs is often one of the greatest challenges facing people suffering from age related disabilities. However, despite being a simple and effective method of overcoming this problem, the stairlift still retains a somewhat unjustified stigma and is still often the subject of much corny and clichéd humour.

APHRASE I often hear from disabled people. When my wife and I Married, disabled people like her were supposed to stay at home, never be seen where they might embarrass their relatives and never complain about it. My wife hadn’t heard of this!

The Butterfly Effect
ONE OF my favourite films is the 2004 supernatural thriller ‘The Butterfly Effect’starring Ashton Kutcher in the leading role. In the movie, Kutcher’s character, Evan Treborn, has supernatural powers that allow him to go back in time and do things differently in order to help save his friends from tragic accidents or evil deeds.

Chase Park Festival
WHETHER IT BE GLASTONBURY, Proms in the Park or the Notting Hill Carnival there is nothing quite like a summer music festival to chill out and relax. Lazing about on the grass, supping a cool drink and listening to a wide variety of musical talent, it’s just bliss. However, not always so easy to attend if your are disabled or confined to a wheelchair.
