Stuck in the mud

A squirrel half way down a tree staring at me

Our photography group topic this month is animals


I had to go for an x ray at Manchester MRI hospital. That’s another story. But it presented me with the perfect opportunity to go and find a friendly squirrel to take a photo of.


As I was scrolling through the park I found a good patch of grass. But I got my wheel chair stuck in the very tiny verge covered with hard mud.


I had to stay there spinning my wheels on my power chair before some kind man helped me out.


His initial thought was to push me as I span the wheels forward.


Didn’t work.


I span them back as he pulled me.


I got out. I decided to find a flatter patch of grass.


What would have happened if he wasn’t walking past?


This can happen anywhere.


I hate it when the side of my wheels hit a lump that is pretty unnoticeable. My wheelchair whiplashes around like I’ve been hit unexpectedly in a dodgem.


Pavements are a nightmare, even in the relatively flat area I live in.


Can you resonate with this?
