I so wish the young #disabled people were around watching #TV when I was a regular #presenter.
TV has gone backwards in its portrayal of #disability. There's a little more on screen but it's so mainstream & safe. The youth deserve to see all possibilities & futures reflected. – at Camden Town, London
ALT A TV publicity shot of me from way back. Wearing my red studded leather jacket, red bike leathers black studded leather gloves with spiky peroxide hair, this was a tv presenter in 1992!

This handmade doll made by a prisoner of the camp of linen was found in the #Auschwitz area. 75 years after the liberation of the camp, the trace of a face can still be appreciated on one side of its head.

Sorry to hear that Carol. Having consulted with the open shops on your side of the road I have asked for the lane to be closed. This will allow for social distancing and queuing. Beginning to wonder if we are ever going to see any action from the council though...
My #lockdownstory
Today I shrugged off verbal abuse from a motorist as I hung back to distance from a fellow pedestrian. I was walking home from my shop after prepping to open tomorrow to get food into people's homes while the easy option would be to close and furlough myself.
