Italy, Travels with a Wheelchair

Travels with a Wheelchair – Italy

October 18, 2016February 3, 2020by Wheel Chic Home4 Comments on Travels with a Wheelchair – Italy
Travels with a Wheelchair – Italy

If you've seen my post on the The Perfect Wheelchair for travellers and the account of our trip to Iceland you will know how we've used the wheelchair to get to us around, not letting my husband's MS get the better of us. This month we had the opportunity to visit a friend in the Tuscany/Umbria borders of Italy. [...]

It’s the lesser spotted spare room! It’s still not where I want it to be. Pictures aren’t on the wall (my usual excuses about putting pictures up!) and I need new chest of drawers in here. But happy with my large mirror given to me yesterday and also my bargain secondhand @gumtreeuk bedside tables. Slow decorating in here at its finest. Still some way to go 🤣
We spend a lot of time sitting on this deck, it gets a little more shade compared to the larger deck and it’s so much easier for @mrwobblelegs to reach. Sitting in the full glare of the sun doesn’t work for his MS legs, so we sit here by the shade of the house most often. I am looking to get a pergola on the main decking area but that’s for another day! Guess it’s time to prepare the mess of the garden for some summertime weather 😊
Oh hello! It’s been a while since I posted on the grid. A general level of Meh is the reason why 🤣.
The kitchen doesn’t look this tidy at the moment. We’ve had no water the past 24hrs and patchy service the last few days. Bloody @officialsewateruk - zero updates, no bottled water to be had, all the ones being given out by the water company were snapped up and all the shops are empty. We will be highlighting @mrwobblelegs disability to have him listed as a priority individual should something like this happen again.
The thing with having a wheelchair in the house that I still struggle with is the big expanses of space, like here - in an ideal world I’d have a lovely chunky rug on the floor with a coffee table or foot stool. But it’s not possible, @mrwobblelegs needs to get to that seat by the window and transfer from the chair to the sofa with nothing else in the way.
Over on my sister account @inclusivechic we are looking for your accessible, #inclusivechic WFH ideas.
