@kerrymThompson What happened ?

[SpinATLightspeed @LightspeedAt]

@kerrymThompson Hey hey , that’s my face in the picture 🤓

[SpinATLightspeed @LightspeedAt]

During the lockdown deep clean of 2020 we had virtually no carers.

See how a 7 year old and a guy in an electric wheelchair find ways to clean the house and make it fun !

Did you know that there are 14.1 million disabled people in the UK, and for the majority it is hard to find accommodation that suits their needs?

We're fighting for change... but we need your help!

Complete our short survey to help us push for change 👇

@Reytomas1228 @TfL @TfLAccess Ooh that would be amazing, is there lift access as well ?

[SpinATLightspeed @LightspeedAt]

@kerrymThompson @MadameTussauds yes the website explains it really well, unfortunately as it was spur of the moment I was trying to read it whilst be bumped sat backwards on a busy bus.

I get there have to be H & S rules but when you see 100s of people just turn up for an attraction that you are turned away :(

[SpinATLightspeed @LightspeedAt]

@kerrymThompson @MadameTussauds Should read can’t come in lol , something to do with an old building and fire risk for evacuation etc that day we then had five buses fail to stop for me so ended up just giving up and going home (we had done the design museum already)

[SpinATLightspeed @LightspeedAt]

@kerrymThompson My favourite was @MadameTussauds , “sorry you can come in because we have met our quota of 3 wheelchairs and you didn’t book in advance”

I’d tried to be spontaneous after getting criticism that I over plan everything on a family day out 🤦‍♂️

[Muscular Dystrophy UK @MDUK_News]

MDUK volunteer @AndrewR74561439 who has #LGMD celebrates five good friends he’s met through the charity, who have supported him along the way. It’s another great #MyMate story, ahead of our BBC #R4Appeal on 25 April. Read his blog post here >> https://t.co/CiDoaNsAgZ

During #lockdown2021 we have less input from carers so have been taking the opportunity to teach young Thomas some basics in the kitchen.

Taking an electric wheelchair on several trains and a Cab to get a museum - priceless when you see your sons face !

[SpinATLightspeed @LightspeedAt]

@EH_Stonehenge @TheWheelchairG1 @Beaulieu_Hants @livrainforest That’s fantastic !!!

The visitor centre seemed pretty new / modern / flash etc but sadly I only remember how many fridge magnets were in the gift shop rather than what toilet was available lol
