Hello.
If you read my schools related post you may well have been confronted with one of my kitchen blogs. Sorry. Here is what I meant to publish:
Best wishes.
I particularly loved blog Steve. I felt for you when you realised that the school wasn’t really wheelchair friendly I think that they mean well but perhaps overlooked the fact that one of the future parents was needing accessible entrance. Isabelle was in year 6 when I first needed a chair and I remember feeling so embarrassed she was at the age where it mattered and felt sad about it I always remember going to a show and they forgot to save me a place for the wheelchair I felt very embarrassed but the year 6 teacher and the head felt even worse they genuinely wanted to help. It has been much harder since she’s gone to secondary at primary school it alway felt like the teacher’s cared and were friends but secondary they are less caring and it’s so big I felt annoyed last parents evening when despite ringing up they didn’t have a ramp and I had to try to que up but had parents pushing past so I missed my slot, it’s not for the faint hearted being disabled. This year I think I’ll send Lee by himself. I hope Rose is happy in her new school I’m so glad that you felt happy with the school it’s probably the most important choice that you will make for her. Michelle x send from my mobile
Good luck to Rosie were ever choose for her

Steve,
Wrote a big reply last night and lost it!
Again.
However much we hope, it still is an able’bodied world. Most people just don’t get it. Some try hard but it is hard for them to understand our world of disability.
I am sure wherever you choose it is a good place for “our Rose” . Love the collogquism(can’t spell that sorry!).
I am glad that you don’t miss teaching anymore. It is good that you have been able to accept the effects it had on you and you can move into a different phase of life. It is not always easy for us.
