Out celebrating submitting my PhD thesis today! It’s been an intense four years of research & writing around disability memoir. At times I wasn’t sure I’d get this far (googled ā€œshould I quit my PhDā€ at least once), but also really enjoyed it. Now to wait for the viva…

Starting the day writing in a coffee shop, all cosy in the warmth with a view of the autumnal street. Who else finds this a perfect setup for writing?

This is a great volunteer opportunity for writers in the West Midlands who want to gain experience of supporting writing workshops for young people, and includes roles in Stoke and Newcastle-under-Lyme šŸ‘‡

As a visually impaired person, travelling without anyone I know used to feel out of reach. So I loved going on a @traveleyesltd trip - where VI & sighted people travel together. I wrote about it for the Guardian: theguardian.com/travel/2024/oc…

Nothing like writing a time sensitive article that’s due in just over an hour to then have your cat walk across the keyboard and delete the paragraph you just spent the last ten minutes getting right. Here is a photo of the guilty boy, who still gets a fuss despite his antics.

I’d wondered whether, being visually impaired, I’d enjoy watching dance. Experiencing Stopgap Dance’s show Lived Fiction - with integrated access key to every element - was a revelation. Here’s the piece I wrote about my window into dance: theguardian.com/stage/2024/nov…

Merlin - a former stray cat who we adopted earlier this year - was spooked by the fireworks, but we put on Classic FM’s #petclassics and he’s now snoozing away.

Mince pie, coffee and writing session this afternoon. It’s a hectic time so it was nice to carve out a bit of time for myself - and I’m starting to feel Christmassy!

As an honorary Stokie, I loved writing this feature about Stoke-on-Trent for the Guardian, highlighting some of the places that make the city so special. And I can’t wait to see how the city celebrates its centenary year. theguardian.com/travel/2025/ja…

Each time I watch a performance at New Vic Theatre, I’m curious about how being a theatre-in-the-round influences everything from acting to costumes. I loved speaking to @theresaheskins & other directors & actors about the magic of this kind of theatre. theguardian.com/stage/2025/jan…
