Life has been relentless for us since our return to the UK - Sofia's dragon has also been unwell and was put to sleep today after many weeks of care as her prognosis was dire. Sofia is battling these storms as best she can and I remind her constantly of her learning of the present moment over the summer to help her develop her coping strategy - she says now it feels like it was a dream, but it brings a smile to her face and she remembers all the same ❤ Fingers crossed life turns a corner for her and she can start next year on a positive run. #autism #autismawareness #pda #travel #adventure #motorcycle #instamoto #bikersofinstagram #advlife #advbike #bikelife #makelifearide #bmwgs #bmwmotorrad #beardeddragon #pets

Apologies for the prolonged silence! Sadly within the 1st week of term Sofia started to be bullied and it has occupied my mind since as I battle with the school to get them to deal with it appropriately. In exasperation last week I told Sofia she had my full suppprt to do and say as she pleased and she showed them all up by talking to perpetrators (bar one who physically attacked her) , demanded an apology and has ostensibly dissolved the situation. And how I wish that was the end of it - but hopefully it is for Sofia on the most part. Sadly staff members decided to get involved in the bullying to deliberately undermine Sofia's confidence because she won't agree with their opinions (yes, really!) The only up side is thst she is not aware of it and so their efforts fail. As you can see there is no short term solution here, however, when I get the head space you will hear from me 🙂 I really would like to talk about the positive benefits of our recent trip, and research has started on another big travel project and I desperately want to get a book out to help raise funds for it, but to be honest I'm really not sure what time scales now or if ever there will be any books as I still struggle to find my writing voice.... so everthing hangs in the balance. For those well travelled or with a well diversified palette may recognise the clue in this pic as to where in the world our next #adventure might be - it was this part of the world or #India where Sofia was interested in doing more #motorcycleadventures - she needs to be older for India so this location will come first ❤ #autismawareness #autism #autismawareness #pda #travel #adventure #motorcycle #instamoto #bikersofinstagram #advlife #advbike #bikelife #makelifearide #bmwgs #bmwmotorrad #bmwadv #canada #foodie #instatravel #adventurebike #adventurekid

The dragon has landed & is back in her stable! #Superb job by Franck at @bmwmotorradmontreal and thank you so much for getting her to her flight on time! Also a #thankyou to @motofreight for picking her up this end and arranging safe delivery. #fantastic! It is so good to have her home and naturally the sun was shining for the occasion so was able to to get some lovely bends in before the bad weather closes in. . . . #autism #autismawareness #pda #travel #adventure #motorcycle #instamoto #bikersofinstagram #advlife #advbike #bikelife #makelifearide #bmwgs #bmwmotorrad #bmwadv #canada #gs1200 #gsadventure

All the bits have arrived and Franck @bmwmotorradmontreal has started work on the bike. I'm really looking forward to seeing her next week all fixed up and taking her out for a ride - keeping fingers crossed for good weather! #motorcycle #bmwgs #bmwadv #autism #autismawareness #pda #travel #adventure #motorcycle #instamoto #bikersofinstagram #advlife #advbike #bikelife #makelifearide #bmwmotorrad

Sofia, First of her Name, Mother of Dragons, Kalissie of the Great Asphalt Rivers 🙂 We've been home a week and we are just about skidding back into reality with our new addition to the family, a beautiful #beardeddragon - I'm now a Grandma! 😄 I'm going off line for a couple of weeks and will be back with the blog posts that are stacking up, including one on the accident which I've not detailed yet so watch this space 🙂 . . . #autism #autismawareness #pda #travel #adventure #motorcycle #instamoto #bikersofinstagram #advlife #advbike #bikelife #makelifearide #bmwgs #bmwmotorrad #bmwadv #canada #reptiles

@aircanada is hands down the worst airline I've ever flown with - a let down considering the ppl of #Canada are so lovely.... since taking the bumped flight, we still have not been able to get our sticky hands on the promised compensation - as a last ditch attempt we are at the airport really early to deal with it - naturally no one on site will deal with it, instead directed to a phone where we are on hold .... 30mins so far - taking bets on how long we will be here waiting... 🙄 we now have 4 of the phones ringing through... oh there we go... someone now picks up the phone, and has now put me on hold again because apparently he doesn't deal with it.... . #aircanada #customerservice #travel #travelblog #travelblogger #montreal #ontheroad #flights
