Over a year ago, before being diagnosed with MS, my friend told me to book the 30th Nov in the diary for my Christmas present: glassblowing. Well, it's been quite a year and there were definitely times we didn't think I'd MS it- I have been unable to move my left arm or leg at all. I phoned up to check access arrangements and they were really clear and helpful. We managed to get there in the wheelchair. Even when we got there I wasn't sure how much I'd be able to manage when I saw the demo but I felt completely involved and at ease. Charlie was fantastic at letting me try first to see how much I could manage on my own and adapting to suit my abilities- but he did a lot of the hard work. I walk a bit with a stick so couldn't stand and hold it. My left arm is weak so I need an adapter on my steering wheel but could still join in with my right hand. Thoroughly good fun! Even if you need access arrangements you can go glassblowing too!
