Remember Us!
It's been quite difficult to do anything with all the lockdowns. We managed to get one Opus trip in between lockdown 1 and lockdown 2, plus a trip in a fish & chip train.
One Off Exhibitions/Places No Longer Open
Pot Painting at the Ceramic Cafe
Who doesn't love a bit of pot painting? Especially when your pot is glazed and fired for you afterwards, so you can use it at home. It's quite a creative and relaxing experience, and something we'd definitely do again!
Accessible Attractions
Concorde Tour at Manchester Airport
This was a trip that brought back some happy memories for me, as I hadn't seen a Concorde since I worked at Heathrow Airport, and it was a good day out too!

Gladstone Pottery Museum Christmas Fun Day
Another opportunity for us to celebrate Christmas early! This time at the Gladstone Pottery Museum. For us, this was a much better experience than the one we had at Middleport Pottery.

Middleport Pottery Christmas Lights Switch On
We love Christmas and John really loves Christmas! We went along to Middleport Pottery to see their Christmas lights switch on, and to enjoy some hot, spicy apple juice and mince pies.

Trip to the Boat Museum, Ellesmere Port
I hadn't visited the Boat Museum at Ellesmere Port since I was a child, so it was great to be able to make a return visit. I'd forgotten what a fun and interesting place it was to visit!
Visually Impaired Experiences
Trip to Matlock Bath
The one part of this trip that terrified me was the cable car ride up to the Heights of Abraham! Apart from that, Matlock Bath is a nice town to visit and, for me, has a "sea-side" vibe.
Accessible Attractions
Visit to Bakewell
Visiting the home of the Bakewell Tart and the Bakewell Pudding - yum!
Accessible Attractions
Warner Bros. Studio Audio Description Tour
If you're a Harry Potter fan then a visit to Warners Bros. Studio in Watford is an absolute must! There is an audio descriptive tour available, which is fantastic for any visually impaired members of your party.
Accessible Attractions
The National Museum of Computing
It's fascinating to see how, as computers get more complex, they reduce in size. When you look at the huge computers used during WW2 at The National Museum of Computing, and compare them with the smart phones that most people carry today, the progress is amazing.
