Photo of me with ginger hair, wearing round glasses and a white frilly blouse with a black military style waistcoat. I am holding King George's crown which is gold with red velvet and white edging. There are different coloured 'jewels' dotted around it. The crown was not as heavy as I expected. I couldn't put it on my head as I might have compromised the mic inside it.

Close up of me showing the audio description device. It goes in your ears like a doctor's stethoscope. There is a large dial which sits like the pendant of a necklace and adjusts the volume. A button in the middle changes the channel.

Had a great time at @dmtwestend.bsky.social #HamiltonTheMusical. My first ever touch tour was amazing! Got to see props and costumes up close and talk to those in the know from behind the scenes. Then live #AudioDescription before and during the show. Highly recommend. #Blind #LowVision

Looking forward to taking @guidedogsuk.bsky.social Mabel to @dmtwestend.bsky.social #HamiltonTheMusical for the third time, first time for hubby. Mabel gets to chill with the staff who love seeing her and I get to see it first time with #AD and a touch tour.

Photo of a white swan on a lake reflected in the water. In the foreground on the left is a small black water bird running in front across the water as if he is photo bombing. It's either a coot or a moorhen, I get them confused.

Photo of a swan in a really weird position. Difficult to explain! His head is in the middle of the picture with his beak up in the air and his wing is up behind him. If I was going to give it a caption it would be oh no calamity!

Photo of a flooded lake. In the foreground on the left there is a tree with one large branch reaching across the top of the photo to the right. In the background there is a line of various sized trees. In the centre there is a bench just on the edge of the flooded water. The Sun is going down creating a shimmering line of light on the lake. It is in black-and-white.

A photo of my lunch. A mug of water in a striped yellow mug, chopped carrot in cucumber in a white bowl, a tuna and lettuce brown roll on a white plate, yoghurt mango and seeds in a white bowl with a silver spoon. Sounds a lot. But it's a little of everything.
