After numerous hours of guiding me throughout Scotland for work, assisting me to navigate on and off Trains, Ferries, Flights & Coaches my long cane deserves some vacation time, below my Cane relaxes on a Sun lounger wearing its bucket hat & shades poolside #RelaxingHolidayCane

I’ve not been on this platform recently, since Twitter became X all I see is political post & advertising, you just don’t get the chit chat we all once enjoyed, I just wanna communicate with friends & chat hockey, I’m seriously considering dropping X from my socials
My visit to a V I Support Group in Dunoon has got off to the worst possible start, my @ScotRail people mover is running 8 mins late leaving me 3 mins to get my connecting train, failing this, I miss my ferry connection !! 👨🦯👨🦯➡️
I love my job @RNIBScotland today I teamed up with City Link Buses in Glasgow and got the chance to take control of my own bus, needless to say I had no passengers at Stance 26, perhaps my long White Cane on the dash was a deterrent lol #SeeDifferently
