@HFMencap @TeamKCIL @kewgardens @SkylarksCharity @KingstonCarers @sensecharity On my way to Kew Gardens now. So glad you had a good experience. A beautiful place to refresh the soul and spirit.

Had a great time meeting with the #kewaccessforum today and experiencing the @kewgardens land train @SkylarksCharity @TeamKCIL @KingstonCarers @sensecharity

@TeamKCIL So pleased it worked well and I know two people who loved it!

KCIL had a lot of fun onboard The Thames Discoverer with the River Thames Boat Project yesterday. youtube.com/watch?v=qQF6_B…

@TeamKCIL @TheVenturer Great photo, Andrew. I can see you have got Lyndon organised!

All aboard! #KCILSummer

@BnsJaneCampbell I’m not a prof, have no degree, but one thing I know. Until non-disabled people experience negative attitudes, even by people who say they love you, and those who rate you costly, and a useless burden, please don’t tell me I have choices. The uni of life has taught me much!

100,000s of people with arthritis are waiting for joint replacement surgery, often in unbearable pain. I’ve just signed @VersusArthritis petition to demand UK governments urgently set out plans to bring waiting times down-will you join me? #MyPainDemands action.versusarthritis.org/page/85054/pet…

@BeresfordPeter @Solnetwork1 Peter, I agree with you and I have always given the Social Model of Disability priority. It may not appear to embrace every single aspect but it does encompass main areas that are so significant for independent living.

now i'm not saying the social model of disability is everything, but i think it is significant that when i tweeted about it yesterday it got more than 11,000 impressions - that for ordinary tweeting shows real interest and concern in it. We need to value it more @Solnetwork1

@johnpringdns @BnsJaneCampbell @JustinTomlinson @SalBrinton @AmbleSkuse @DSexism @sohear @natalyadell @PFselfadvocacy @BenjaminEWilson Words almost fail me that House of Lords Members should even think these thoughts about disabled people, never mind articulate them. Retire or ban them from attending the House. Some/many will have disabled family members, so does their discrimination apply to them, too?!

Minister for disabled people @JustinTomlinson refuses to criticise disablist comments of four Tory peers @BnsJaneCampbell @SalBrinton @AmbleSkuse @DSexism @sohear @natalyadell @PFselfadvocacy @BenjaminEWilson #Conservatives disabilitynewsservice.com/minister-for-d…

@policyatkings I would be able to assist. DP User.

@bethyb1886 Beth, you must be so proud. I’m so happy for you all. Please keep me do keep me in the loop so I can watch them both grow. Such a lovely photo. I’m nursing a broken ankle, fractured a week ago. Up today for first time but cannot stand. Patience needed! Love to you all. Ann

A very proud mummy to an amazing son, Alexander Arthur, born 31 August, #totallyinlove again. Our 🌈 baby and a much adored little brother for our daughter who is loving being a big sister ❤️💙❤️💙

@DrAmirKhanGP Breathtakingly beautiful and peaceful.

Morning! The Yorkshire Dales are looking especially glorious this morning! Lush green Fields, stunning vistas and the freshest of air sweeping down the hillsides to greet me! And all topped off with a blue sky mottled with clouds Happy Sunday! #SundayMotivation #sundayvibes

@DrAmirKhanGP I love your messages of such spiritual quality that starts my day smiling. It feels as if the natural world is giving me a reassuring hug.

Morning! After a stormy day the sun has come out, shining light and life on everything! The way it’s rays of pale yellow beams filter through the woodland trees is other-worldly and magical And the perfectly still water captures the scene perfectly Happy Sunday! #sundayvibes

@AlisonMoyet Those birds have made me feel guilty and sad! They will be fed when the weather turns cold.

He has followed me upstairs and is hammering at the window like a vexatious curtain twitcher for all to hear. I said I would stop feeding them. I patently lied. And he’s got the brass front to look at me like that? The traitorous splitter.

@AlisonMoyet They never give up until drastic action is taken. One hanging small bird feeder enticed at least seventeen every day. An empty feeder meant tapping at the window when the feeder became depleted. I stopped feeding them and still they came until, after two weeks, they gave up.

@DrAmirKhanGP Always a joy.

Morning! June has to be the BEST month for wildflower meadows There is something about a wildflower meadow that invokes feelings of summers gone by, long hot carefree days of childhood full of ice creams, adventures and infinite promises! Happy Wednesday! #WednesdayWisdom
