I’m back with another concert related blog post…it’s been a while, hasn’t it? With everything being thrown into disarray over the last 18 months or so, I was a bit nervous and sceptical about attending a concert again. As I’d had this one booked since pre-pandemic times, I knew that I just had to go…
Finding the right path
Our path in life is often filled with twists, turns and bumps along the way; mine certainly hasn’t been smooth, that’s for sure. If someone would have told me a few years ago that my path would lead to the destination I’ve been searching for, I probably wouldn’t have believed them. But here we are….
Being disabled doesn’t make me brave
Let me start by explaining the idea behind this post; the automatic assumption that just because someone has a disability, they are deemed to be brave. As a disabled person, it’s something I encounter on a regular basis. So, I’m doing what I do best (I hope) and taking to the blog to share my…

Hotels use it. Venues use it. Website developers use it. Event organisers use it.
On the surface, it sounds brilliant. But there’s no one size fits all approach to accessibility.
Because accessibility isn’t a box you can tick once and forget about. There isn’t a magic point where something becomes accessible to every single disabled person.
Our access needs are different. What works for one person might not work for another.
Rather than asking, “is it accessible?”
Ask: “Accessible for who?”
In my latest blog post, I’m exploring why “fully accessible” is a myth. Head to the link in my bio if you’d like to give it a read.

Image two: Holly sat on a low stone wall beside a shallow stream with a path running alongside it. Dense green bushes and trees line the far bank, forming a thick hedge along the water. There is a small bridge and a building in the background. She wears a black T-shirt, a long, multicoloured patterned floral skirt and a silver necklace.]](https://lifeofablindgirl.com/wp-content/plugins/instagram-feed/img/placeholder.png)
