I was lucky enough to get tickets for Chelsea vs. Manchester United for 5th Feb. I was accompanied by Lieutenant No.1 and it turned out to be a perfect day out. We went to S. Lucia pizza restaurant in Hollywood Rd., Fulham for a pre-match lunch. It’s not really easily accessible due to a huge step and…
It’s that time of year – I had a birthday! I didn’t know what to do as it was on a Sunday, lunch seemed best. I chose kensington Place as I used to go when I attended a Wine & Spirit Education Trust course around the corner, many years ago. I’ve started to go there again more recently and as…
I used to be a member of Home House but my membership lapsed and I haven’t been back for years. An invitation to return interested me as I hadn’t been since being in a wheelchair. So I and Lieutenant No. 1 went to a debating society event, The Persuaders, to discuss with Diane Abbott MP…

The Barbican disabled access is pretty good with lots of ramps and wheel ways … however it is,…
Last week, feeling frugal, I and Lieutenant No.4 (you know ‘The I Don’t Care Carer’), went to The Garrison in Bermondsey St. It’s part of the Riding House Cafe group, see my previous review. Bermondsey St. used to be a hang out in my younger days, when I went to go to the rougher side…
This may not be regarded as ‘stylish’ but as a member of MUDSA I have now got tickets for Arsenal v Man Utd and Chelsea v Man Utd. Thank you so much I’m v.v. excited.
