Hello my lovely readers
As a sort of follow on/extension to yesterday's post, today's is in homage to our dear friends Hannah and Lynne (her mum), who have let us have their house whilst they're away. Hannah and I have known each other since we were very young, and she also uses a wheelchair, so their house is fully ramped. They also have a dog and a cat, the latter of whom has taken up residence on the bed I'm sleeping in, and seems to be my snuggle buddy for this week. She is in the featured photo. Thanks so much Hannah and Lynne!

This poem is in thanks for lovely friends
who've offered up their homes for us to stay in
since they, too, are aware how much depends,
for me, on having easy ways in.
I guess it's their community as well
and knowing there's the deepest understanding
of struggles and a solidarity
which makes us all of us keen to put a hand in.
It also fosters, hugely, a relief
when barriers of every kind are gone;
it bolsters up one's sense of self-belief
and makes another's house feel like a home.
Especially when there are cuddly pets
'cause that's about as homely as it gets.
