Happy New Year! Walking into 2022 and hoping it b Happy New Year! Walking into 2022 and hoping it brings music, colour and light! And improved equality and inclusion 🌈 (And doesn’t turn out to be ‘twenty twenty poo’ as my 8 year old keeps calling it 😳 We’ve had enough of those thank you! 😬) We loved our visit to @wimpole_estate_nt winter lights on the eve of New Year’s Eve. A wonderful immersive experience that we all really enjoyed. A bit muddy, but great that they had rubber matting on the paths for wheelchair access. Description: Montage of video clips from a walk around Wimple Hall winter lights show. Plants & trees lit up, a projection show on the building and colourful installations in the landscape. #HappyNewYear #NewYearCelebration #Winter Lights #ChristmasAtWimpole #WimpoleHall #InclusiveChic

We are Christmas ready! Well I say that, we’ve p We are Christmas ready! Well I say that, we’ve put the decorations up…. all other prep is still on the to do list! I’m loving our special little #Chameleon tree decoration bought from @chameleonandco last year as a memento of EJ and EW’s virtual performance titled ‘Chameleons’ with their #UniqueFeetCam friends for #RAREfest20 The chameleon has a rare ability to adapt to its environment, representing change and adaptability, just like our fabulous children with #RareDisease and their siblings have done during covid lockdown, but actually have to do much of their lives. Unable to come together in person for much of 2020, the children talk of how they kept in touch from a distance and were finally able to emerge cautiously from shielding.

Come and enjoy the new #Inclusive @shelfordplayscape the Christmas farmers market or use Shelford as a base to explore south #cambridge (Unfortunately due to rain and high winds forecast later this afternoon, the official opening for Playscape and the Christmas lights switch on will have to be postponed until tomorrow and Mobiloo will leave earlier than planned).
For my little workstation working at full capacity For my little workstation working at full capacity today! Fascinating talks and panel discussions at #RAREsummit21 so far, talking all things about rare and undiagnosed conditions! I've got my #ZebraStripes leggings on to get in the #RareDisease advocate spirit (as a @swanchildrenuk and @kat6afoundation parent) while helping over on the @camraredisease social feeds! Come over and check them out and see what's going on! . #RareDisease #CambridgeRareDiseaseNetwork #RareConditions #Undiagnosed #DiagnosisJourney #DiagnosticOdyessy #CoordinatingCare #JoinedUpThinking #InclusiveChic
New garden fence! The fence looks a bit exposed so New garden fence! The fence looks a bit exposed so we’re keen to get it the beds planted over the autumn and a add a little winter colour to the garden. Inspired by the sensory planting that I helped to plant at @shelfordplayscape last week (donated by @scotsdalesgardencentre ) we took a trip to the garden centre yesterday and stocked up on some more fragrant plants, like lavender, sage and thyme. I want to get some tall grasses too, that rustle in the wind, as I know EJ will love those. She loves listening to the breeze through the leaves of our neighbour’s silver birch 🍃🍂 We’d love to put up a pergola for shade and some climbing plants…. and maybe even a swing seat? I really need to catch up on some of the Chelsea Flower show programmes for some more ideas! . #SensoryGarden #SensoryPlants #FragrantPlants #SensoryExperience #SensoryProcessing #InclusiveDesign #InclusiveHome #MyGarden #InclusiveChic
It’s been a very sad week for us, as we had to s It’s been a very sad week for us, as we had to say our final farewells to our gorgeous wee dog #AaltoWhippet He was (at least) 14.5 years old and his health had been a bit up and down in the last few years, but he’d always bounced back until last weekend when he just went downhill. We are so lucky to have had him in our lives for 12.5 years. It feels like fate matched us when we found each other at @battersea dogs home (whippets are pretty rare in rescues) and he rescued me at a tough time in my life (after a series of miscarriages), way more than we rescued him. He brought with him a fair bit of baggage and was anxious around other dogs (except lovely #LuluLittleLurcher ). I don’t think he really believed he was a dog. Either a cat or maybe human? Trying to help his anxiety brought us into contact with a whole community of amazing people like SLR, @iheartwhippets and Dog Communication who taught hound and humans so much. He was such an affectionate little guy who loved to curl up for a cuddle. I will so miss your little play bows and excitable spins asking us to play chase with you. My little shadow. I will love you always my beautiful blue boy 💙
