I found Joe really interesting and very open about his struggles and guilt as a parent, but how his creative writing has been his saviour and this is evident in the podcast.

Joe is very articulate and it's great to hear a man's perspective on living with a muscle wasting condition and his openness is commendable. He was diagnosed at just 3 years old.

Please do take the time to listen to this podcast if you can. I particularly liked the very end. You will know what I mean......

I recently went to Cocoa Amore in Leicester and made a Dubai style chocolate bar. 1 hour 45 mins workshop with a break for hot drink.

Unfortunately the workshop in Leicester city centre was not accessible as it was held upstairs and no lift.

However definitely a fun workshop which held about 9 people.

I did a horse and cart ride - the cart is adapted with a ramp at the back and there are clamps to hold the wheelchair. (It has to be a manual wheelchair as power chairs are too heavy).

The instructor sat next to me and was telling me how to use the reins. It was amazing !!! I would highly recommend it.
