Hello.
Here are more of my ramblings. I’ve been looking at the word extreme. It’s helpful in describing a lot of what we deal with. It’s not a flippping deodorant.
Best wishes, Steve.

Well done Steve, that was another lovely blog I love your descriptions, you make it all come to life. A few years ago Lee took me away to the lakes and we went exploring we stayed near a castle. i’m not good with names but we climbed what seemed to me an enormous mountain…I’d love to give the descriptions you give …but it was beautiful and magical and romantic…there was just the two of us no children and the rugged hillside…and it snowed…i love snow…i’m a child inside,. we took some fantastic pictures. He showed me them again recentely, all stored on amazon cloud…its funny what you forget, Lees fairly practical…he doesn’t allow my disability to overwhelm him or me. Having a life of bringing up children and coping with the autism…we are both fairly tough. so it was quite sad when he said…“We wont ever be able to do that again” He looked so sad. We are still the same people aren’t we Steve ? Just because our bodies are broken doesn’t mean we cant have adventures. We just have to find a new way to have them.

Hi Steve
Fantastic read, thanks. Wales and Scotland are both magical places, especially when you have good weather there, I have fond memories of both of days gone by.
We also used to go to the Pyrenees and stay at Bagneres de Bigorre at the Hotel La Residence, off the beaten track just past Pau, and it was like being in a different world. In front of you was a large mountain, sorry can’t remember name, but all you could hear were the bells on the cattle and the birds singing, it was so magical.
We also visited Monserrat, so high up, looking over the edge at the valley below, so beautiful, and yes the usual commercialised tatt to buy, but such a beautiful place.
We also went to Lourdes, loads of commercialism here, but once past that, we went into the grotto where St Bernadette was supposed to be, and you were instructed to go around the edge of the grotto with your hand continually on the rock all the way.
Me, being naive truly thought that my doing this my ms would go, you cannot imagine how disappointed I felt when it didn’t. I must admit that I have thought since that perhaps it may have worked if I had faith, but who knows.

Extremes, it’s all totally been tipped upside down for me. Only a few years ago I was happy to hang upside down, by one limb, 15ft off the ground. I can now end up kissing the carpet without managing a single step. It’s all about perspective now.
Nice read but I have to admit to skimming it a little as I’m a bit boggle eyed this afternoon, sorry, had hospital treatment earlier.
