Hey lovelies, This is the follow up blog I promised to share my first experience of Glastonbury as a blind woman. In the week before we went I was invited to appear on BBC Radio4 In Touch programme and BBC Breakfast to talk about my return to Glastonbury as a newly blind woman. As a…

After a 2 year wait we are finally making preparations for my all-time favourite festival, Glastonbury! We secured tickets for the 50th year anniversary in 2020 but the pandemic hit. The festival was postponed and although I understood why and there were much bigger things going on, it was such a disappointment. We just had…

With all this activity, I’ve noticed I’m pretty tired this month, so lets talk about sleep. Sleep has always…
