<image:title><![CDATA[Two women sitting together on a grey sofa, mid-conversation and grinning. On the left, a woman with pink hair in a green floral blouse is mid-wave at the camera — that's me, your Mrsvark, having a reasonably good spoon day by the looks of things. On the right, a woman with dark hair pulled back, glasses, and a lilac sweatshirt, smiling in that way that suggests she's about thirty seconds from saying something dry — that's Aimee, the Aimeevark herself. Behind us: flowers, general organised chaos, and if you look carefully, a cushion that says "That Aardvark" something. Because of course it does. 🐾💜]]></image:title>

I'm driving down a slight hill in the local park with bare winter trees in the background. My wheelchair's looking proper sporty today with those cool white accents and star-shaped wheels! Just because it's chilly doesn't mean we stay indoors - vitamin D mission accomplished! My chair handles these grassy slopes like a dream... who needs a 4x4 when you've got this beauty? Accessibility? More like access-ABILITY, am I right?]]></image:title>

On the right is Miles Hunt a chap with wild curly hair and circular specs that make him look like a cross between Harry Potter and Einstein after a particularly shocking discovery. He's sporting a colourful plaid shirt that appears to have been designed by someone who couldn't decide on just one pattern.

Behind her, a violinist busker adds a bit of culture to the scene while looking like he's attempting to serenade the swans under the iconic red brick bridge. Her star-patterned trousers and bright pink Doc Martens prove that disability doesn't mean sacrificing style. Just another day in Shakespeare country after a proper gig.]]></image:title>

Several boats drift by on the water as tourists row past the theatre in what looks like a daft attempt to get cultured by osmosis. There's a sign for a 'Foot Ferry to town' nearby - because nothing says 'Shakespeare's England' like avoiding a five-minute walk by paying for a boat ride. A rare bit of spring sunshine has graced Stratford for our post-gig wander.]]></image:title>

Sunlight streams through a dirty window, and a single bare lightbulb hangs from the ceiling, casting shadows in the grey, decaying space scattered with debris.

The squares include simple acts like 'took a shower', 'got dressed today', 'ate food', and 'brushed my teeth', alongside emotional care items like 'sat with my feelings', 'let myself cry', and 'asked for help'. The center square says 'STAYED ALIVE' in larger text. Other squares mention 'moved my body joyfully', 'went outside', 'did a hobby', and 'got 7-9 hours of sleep'.

The collection includes approximately eight chairs spanning different periods and styles, from simple wooden ladder-back chairs to more ornate upholstered pieces with decorative elements. Behind them stands a tall display cabinet with glass doors. The chairs are positioned on a polished parquet wood floor, and the museum lighting creates a warm, scholarly atmosphere typical of design history exhibitions.]]></image:title>

The room is warm and relaxed; people are seated and standing in two rows, name badges on, genuinely happy faces all round. Mobility aids are visible and completely unremarkable — crutches in the foreground, a powerchair on the right. Behind the group, a large projected screen displays the Burntwood Spoonies Connect branding: "Powered by Tea, Sarcasm and Naps." One attendee is holding a giant novelty spoon aloft, because of course he is. This is what community looks like. 💜]]></image:title>
