This blog started as a record of random happenings that I’ve experienced over time. It’s become a bit about transition as LB (see below) comes to the end of his school life and stands, unaware, on the edge of a huge gap in adult services. It’s also about capturing everyday life, through image and snippets of conversation and observations, at home, on the bus and just wandering through life.
Key players in these events will probably include Richy Rich and kids; Rosie, Will, Laughing boy (LB), Owen and Tom. As for me, I am a sociologist by background and work at a local university focusing on disability, health experiences, difference and inclusion.
Some people suggest that LB (17) has various labels like autism, learning disabilities and Klinefelter syndrome. I just think he is one crazy dude who loves Eddie Stobart, drum and base and going to London.
The photo’s and drawings are mine unless otherwise specified. Liberal credits are sprinkled throughout, because everything is intertwined really.
All posts reflect my own, and only my own, personal views. And please don’t use any photos without permission. Oh, and last thing, if I’ve snapped you and you would like a copy, leave me a message here.
Thanks!
Life, don’t talk to me about life!
Oh dear. Hope life is getting a bit better…x
I just love your blog… I pop over now and then for an update and a view of some pretty fine buses… or something equally enchanting. Thought I’d leave you a little note so you know I was here.

That is lovely to hear! Thank you Leah
Hi Laughing Boy. You may be entitled to Legal Aid for breach of privacy, trust, abuse etc. Does your mother have assets worth suing for? You don’t have to put up with this. Do you have any friends that could help? You are a young man. Reject this controlling voyeurism. try shrink4men Do not consent to being put on electronic display. And its drum and bass. As you know. Good luck mate. You’re going to need it.
Hi Steven, if you want to help LB in whatever way, that is more than fab. Seriously
