Windsor itself
As none of us had been to Windsor before, we decided we needed to explore as much as possible. Windsor certainly didn’t disappoint! There were LOTS of Christmas markets, and the people manning the stalls were wonderfully chatty—which suited me perfectly, as I’m also incredibly chatty myself! 😊
We ate at Franco Manca on the first night, and the…

Windsor Castle
My two Support Workers and I went to Windsor on Friday. None of us had been before, and we were thrilled when we entered the Castle and the man at the gate told us the King was in residence. (I, of course, said it was because we were there! 😊)
The closest we came to a royal sighting was a Policeman with a submachine gun standing outside, and…

This is so cool! You’ve definitely come a lot closer to Royalty than I ever have. How amazing would it have been if you spotted HRH and he gave you a little wave 😀

Great to hear your positive perspective, Patty! I lived outside London for about three years and was using a cane at the time (part time wheelchair user now). I relied heavily on lifts at train stations so I was always glad when they took extra care to maintain them in good working order!

I was lucky enough to stay at Angama Mara (on the Mara Triangle in 2017) it was started by friends of mine and they were devastated when I had my stroke which left me in a wheelchair, they decided to install a Patty’s Tent in each of their 3 tented camps in Kenya. I admit it is a bit on the pricey side but the service is first class😀. …
