I have had a blog called 'Parkies and me - my journey with Parkinson's' for the past four years. Now that I have finished work and have more time, I wanted to add a Podcast to provide more information and interest for my followers. I also hope to get guests on my Podcast on specialist subjects that would be useful to know for both carers and those they support. Look out for interviews regarding important legal decisions that is well worth a look. If you are interested in my Blog, you can find it on www.parkiesandme.com as it follows my journey from diagnosis through my first four years .

I love sharing recipes with friends and family, knowing they are good because we have tasted them and we want to have that recipe so we can make it and share with others too. So too, with Parkinson's sharing our recipe o
The game of bowls is a good comparison to a life with Parkinson's we all have our own way of doing things and sometimes they work and sometimes they don't!

Don't wait too long to travel and tick off your bucket list. While some may discourage with some compromises and adaptations travel can still be possible and enjoyed.
Just a few thoughts about listening to my body, especially when travelling.
The loss of bank branches and the risks this entails for vulnerable people.
Nearly five years in and we are currently on holiday in the UK. This episode is part of a travelogue that I like to do when I travel to the UK and other places and the challenges I am faced with and strategies I use.
This is a rather gravelly voiced me first thing in the morning, with my first recording of our eight week trip away to the UK. First time using my little travelling mic, so all in all some little adjustments so I am not
I had a crash in my car today, but luckily I was the only one with injuries and they were minor. It left me feeling vulnerable to judgements based on my age.
Today is World Parkinson's Day. I won't say "Happy World Parkinson's Day" but I acknowledge the place that it has in my life. In the shadows, in the background and definitely not centre stage.
A diagnosis such as Parkinson's is bound to affect how you think and what you do. For me, it has created many positives.

A bit of a theme going on... this was actually the first poem I wrote.
I wrote this silly poem after finding myself in rather a tricky position at bowls recently. It is me laughing at myself, which happens quite frequently. It has nothing at all to do with Parkinson's, but we all need to st
Sometimes it seems the planners and builders of today's homes just pay lip service to the issue of accessibility. The access can be limited and not as well thought out as they could be.
I'd like to acknowledge Donna Parkhurst a fellow person with Parkinson's who I follow. She was talking about this topic and it made a lot of sense to me. We all live with uncertainty in life and it is hard not to go into
It's easy to be with a friend when things are going well, it's when you hit the rough spots, the potholes in life that is Parkinson's that you know who is someone you can count on. What is a friend to you?
