This week I’m going to be brief for no other reason than I’m hurting from the Man Utd defeat by Man City! I need to lick my wounds with a few drinks. First I went to the newly refurbished Avenue restaurant & bar from DandDLondon, in St James’ Piccadilly – ‘Where Manhattan Meets Mayfair’. It…
Travel blogger, Liz Vee, got in touch to tell us about her recent holiday in Sarasota, Florida. Liz has her own blog on her accessible travelling experiences. We really appreciate her guest blog here on BBS – we try to cover as much as we can but the world is an awfully big place! Take it…
Last week I had a number of meetings in London to raise funds for BBS……………Has anyone got any?? I digress, the problem I had was getting around, so I opted for black cabs as per usual. I rarely wait on the street as I prefer the cab driver to come and get me from the…

In an interview with Boutique Hotelier we argued the case for disabled facilities in Boutique Hotels. See the full article here. Among other things we argue the economic and social case for inclusion. Here’s a sample of what I said, they got me on an angry day!? “Up to 19% of the population is…
I don’t know about you but the last time I went to The Science Museum was when I was on a school trip, which is a shame as it’s a very cool place to visit. In particular it has a 3D Printing Exhibition at the moment running until 7/2/2015 and it’s FREE. This is something…
