The Daisy:

-

A daisy I picked today unexpectedly took me straight back to a moment in the past.



My son was about 2½ years old, wearing his little Kermit backpack. He stopped playing football with his dad to very "secretly" (and very obviously!) bring a daisy over to his mam.


At the time, I had pink hair and was using my wheelchair.


What I didn't know then was that this would be our last ordinary day before the hospital appointments started and before his cancer diagnosis changed our lives.


Today, holding this daisy, I could feel the sunshine again. The wind. I could see him in his little blue top with his short hair, proudly handing me a flower and telling me he loved me.


He's in remission now, healthy, happy, and somehow taller than me.


But for a moment today, I got to step back into that memory and hold it again.


Some flowers are just flowers.


Others are time machines. 🌼💛

A soft-focus close-up photograph of a white daisy with a golden-yellow centre against a muted blue-grey background. The flower appears delicate and slightly windswept, creating a dreamy, nostalgic feel. The image accompanies a personal story about a mother being reminded of a cherished memory of her young son giving her a daisy before his cancer diagnosis. 🌼💛

Fighting for Community: Why The Aviator Matters More Than Ever Something powerful happens when people come together — when a space opens its doors to everyone, no matter their background, ability, or walk of life. That’s what The Aviator Sports & Live Lounge has done for our town. And now, it’s under threat. For years, The Aviator has been more than just a venue. It’s been a beating heart in Newton Aycliffe. A place for celebration, connection, live music, family events, sports, comfort food, and spontaneous laughter with strangers who become friends. It’s one of the rare spaces that makes you feel like you belong — and in a world that can feel so divided and isolating, that’s priceless. As a disabled woman, I’ve often found public spaces either inaccessible or unwelcoming. But not The Aviator. It’s one of the few places where I’ve never had to fight to be included. The staff have always been kind, attentive, and respectful. I can just be. That shouldn’t be rare — but sadly, it is....

Let the truth free:

I'm done being scared and bullied and hiding. I set the truth free and if I get harmed and arrested for doing so, so be it. I refuse to be harmed or suffer anymore, I can't cope. I've harmed no one at any time and asking for an apology and blogging about my mistreatment doesn't justify false allegations. This has been breaking me. I need to set the truth free so my bullies have no more control. I'm sorry I wish I was stronger. I did my best.

Butterfly world Stockton and abused:

💔 Heartbroken After Today’s Experience at Butterfly World 💔 By Sarah Wingfield — Independent Disability Advocate Today should have been a simple, gentle outing. Instead, it turned into one of the most humiliating and distressing experiences I’ve had in a long time. We visited Butterfly World in Stockton-on-Tees, and while we were inside for roughly forty minutes, Bud stayed in the car. It was cool, the windows were open, the car was in the shade, and he had water. He was absolutely fine. But what wasn’t fine was how we were treated. An employee named India approached us in a way that was shockingly unprofessional, laughing, openly speaking about us to others, and accusing us of animal cruelty. Her behaviour triggered an autistic meltdown in public — not because we had done anything wrong, but because of the hostile, mocking way the situation was handled. Instead of assessing the situation properly, instead of placing a hand inside the car to feel the cool air, instead of speaking res...
