Just got on a train (with assistance) with @ziggy_guidedog Man across the aisle turns to me and says ‘excuse me, I’m sat opposite you. Please let me know if you need anything while you’re on the train’. How lovely!

@JonAttenborough Sending love Jon. Thinking of you x

Thank you so much for all the lovely messages. I have read them all It brings me some comfort to know Sam was clearly loved by so many in the football community He will forever have a place in Scottish football history and always have a place in my heart ❤️

Following on from my earlier post about a lady being rude to me because she ‘didn’t know if I was blind or not’, today my 4 year old told a grown adult off for distracting @ziggy_guidedog while she was working. If a 4 year old gets it, I’m not sure why an adult can’t!

2/2 telling people not to disturb her when she is working. Secondly, hidden disabilities are a thing. Thirdly, it doesn’t matter if @guidedogs are working or training, you DON’T disturb them or any other assistance dog. Fourthly, don’t call me rude because you interrupted me!

Lady in shop: I suppose I can’t touch her (@ziggy_guidedog ) Me: No… Lady (interrupting before I could explain ): Well you’re rude. Lady walking off: I didn’t know if she was blind or not This is not ok! There is a huge sign on Ziggy’s fluorescent yellow harness 1/2

@myolliethe_GD Sending love to you and Carlo (and Ollie) xxx

“Sue here” Sorry not shared much since Sunday. Carlo saw specialist Tues, bloods done. All elevated. New food in place and extra meds added. Sadly it’s the end of the road as a #GuideDog Got this through the post. Please stay our frens. Need it more than u know 😢#DogsOfX

Hey everyone. In December, I’m putting on a concert for the amazing charity @guidedogs and have a crowdfunding page to raise money for the costs of the concert. Any donations or RTs will be gratefully received crowdfunder.co.uk/p/christmas-co…

Here’s the process for getting assistance on UK trains. You show up at the station and ask for assistance. Staff assist you to the platform and train, and check your journey details like connection and destination. They then contact those stations so there will be someone there.

@PizzaExpress #IsItOk that your Charing Cross branch refused access to my friend @Darren_Paddick & his guide dog because his guide dog was ‘too big’?! As someone who has experienced guide dog access refusals, it’s humiliating, deeply upsetting & unlawful. @guidedogs

@gaswomancometh Love this! x

A month ago, after the culmination of the worst five years of my life I decided to - stop drinking - gym daily - eat clean - work less - trombone more Sadly this has worked on both my mental and physical health, so now I have to keep doing it. Bugger.

@MacyLewis6 @kayteebeexx @barton_kell Thank you so much lovely. Hope you’re well x

Shoutout to my girls: @kayteebeexx, @LizzieCapener, and @barton_kell! These beautiful ladies are incredible mums and wives. They each have different eye conditions, but they’re brilliant campaigners who demonstrate that while sight loss can be hard, life is beautiful and fun. 💕

A cyclist has just passed me while walking in the park while @ziggy_guidedog has a free run. Seeing my white cane, the cyclist rang his bell to let me know he was approaching and then said ‘I am about to pass you on your righthand side’. Simple, but SO appreciated!

@myolliethe_GD Sending so much love xxx

Carlo is finally asleep! In all the time I’ve had him I’ve never heard him cry, tonight he has😢 He keeps pacing and giving me his paw. I’m sitting in between Ollie and Carlo and I can’t stop crying. I’m devastated 💔

@BlindDad_Uk @RNIB Feel better soon x

I was so looking forward to attending & presenting an award at the @rnib’s #SeeDifferentlyAwards tonight, but a bug has got the better of me. I’ll be cheering everyone on from home instead! Well done to all those change makers working to make our society more inclusive 🙌🏽

Someone is very happy following her free run with her friends this morning @ziggy_guidedog

Security guard came marching up to me and & @ziggy_guidedog at a bar last night. I braced myself for a ‘no dogs allowed’ or similar and got ‘let me know if I can help you with anything’! Sad that my experiences make me assume negativity, but a great interaction!

@LifeWithGDOtto Wow! Some people are just incredibly rude! Sorry you had that experience

👩🏼‍🦯😡 On the tube this morning two people standing directly in front of me spent the hole journey talking about Otto and me. Please, if you have to say how sorry you feel for people like me or speculate about what”the blind and their dogs” can or can’t do, do it out of earshot
