From imaginary friends to real life photography plus whatever happens in between
As both a parent of 2 children with Ehlers Danlos Syndrome (or if it isn’t, something incredibly close to it, if the Doctors could just stop arguing and make their minds up) and having been a pupil at school with EDS (not that we knew that’s what it was at the time) one of the […]
This year I’m leading the photography session at the BlogOn Conference in Manchester. We’ll be doing a walkabout around the Museum of Science and Industry and looking at taking photos in the ‘here and now’ rather than beautifully styled images that you can create in your own time. I’ve already been asked some questions about […]
This post is brought to you in association with Benenden Health – to find out what “In association with” means, click here It’s pretty safe to say that we are a household who are (probably) more medically aware than the ‘average’. I have cupboards containing all sorts of medicine that does all sorts of things, […]
I’ve been taking some time to catalogue the *ahem* rather large (this may be an under-estimate) number of photographs I seem to have accumulated during 2014. I took so many over the summer holidays but was so busy getting out there and doing stuff I didn’t share them here on the blog – so, with […]
Today I have been what can only be described as “spacially unaware”. Spell check tells me that “spacially” is not a word – so to put it another way, if you were to grade spacial awareness on a scale of 1-10, with 10 being perfect and 1 being a completely unguided missile, I reckon today […]
My two have now reached the age where I have to establish ‘buy-in’ before I agree to attending blog related events – I totally respect that and actually, it gives me an insight to where they’re actually ‘at’ at the moment rather than thinking I know what they’ll enjoy. Last week’s invitation though was a […]
It’s six months since I had my ulnar shortened so it seems apt to look back at my recovery from the surgery and the progress I’ve made. Ulnar shortening (known as an osteotomy)is a very rare procedure to be carried out as elective surgery – let alone ulnar shortening when it is relating to the […]
Tomorrow my children return to school and, I fear, that there may be some lies told on the school run – and indeed in the playground. I suspect however, it won’t be the children creating these untruths – although they may possibly be prone to a bout of new term over enthusiasm and wild exaggeration […]
I’ve had a little blogging break over Christmas – I’m quite sure that you have no desire to read the fine details of our exploits over the festive season although I may share a few photos of our outdoor expeditions as we’ve geocached our way around the local(ish) area. So, with a quick rewind, I’m […]
“It must be so hard” people say when they hear the Cheetah Keeper has frequent nosebleeds – “he must get so distressed”. Well – actually he doesn’t get distressed and we manage that bit generally well – what gets to me is the blood on the walls and the amount of washing involved – sheets, […]
