Hi everyone

I am here I am back as I have been aware there have been some people was thinking of me checking make sure I was ok because I have aware there is some people has been worried about me which I understand and I don’t mean to make people worried or panic but I am fine

it because I don’t always understand the seriousness of vulnerability because of my learning disability to be honest

but other than this I would love to say what I has been doing so well

well this year it have been quite of mixture to be honest because in March it haven’t been a easy time because I have caught Covid and had to stay in for 2 weeks which hasn’t been easy but I done so well and I still love Percy Pig rubber ducks chocolate oranges makaton singing hands Disney mr tumble etc

I also have some exciting things to say that I have recently met cool people especially Clare Balding when I went to crufts and I taught her how to sign for Dog and she learnt how to sign Dog with me which is amazing I also met Hayley Mills a old actress from Pollyanna Disney films etc she is such a lovely lady I also met Olivia Coleman and Toby Jones when they came to my local cinemas for their film premiere it was amazing and they was so great with me I didn’t recognise Olivia but I did recognise Toby Jones because I remembered watching him on various tv show but I did remember Olivia playing as killer from Midsomer Murders which is cool.

i also met Giovanni from Strictly come dancing he is such a lovely man and we did a special sign video together and we signed Keep Dancing!

the best of all is one of the children books you will recognise is We Going To The Bear Hunt I have actually met Michael Rosen when I went to see his speech about how life and how he become author he was such a lovely man and great with me he did my books signed too which is cool and I loved it

I also have been doing well with my confidence of my travelling on train to new different places I haven’t been done before which is cool

I also did underground without any help because I remember which way to go and my mum was little bit worried but she is so proud I did it on time and I would panic but I remember what to do and I did ask for some help but I did really well with my independence train travel to help me with my confidence

I also met Tony Christie the man who sang This Is Way To Aramillo he was so lovely and kind with me

i hope this will make you smile and I sorry if I has worried you all

i don’t want this thread will be deleted as I know lots of people was thinking of me I am ok I am fine

I forgot to mention that in April I have recently started doing a volunteer job at my local cafe and I loved it so much because it give me more chance to learn new things etc and I loved it and I work on Wednesdays which is cool and I loved it

I also got new hearing aids Bluetooth hearing aids and I had to say what a amazing thing they are to me because not because they are cool but they gave me a chance to hear more sound and it connected to my iPad and iPhone which is cool and I loved it

I also big fan of English Bull Terriers dogs as they are my favourite breeds

I recently took photographs of sunflowers poppies last week and it was amazing

also I forgot to mention that I have passed my level 3 BSL signing and it was very hard but I did it so well and when I found out I has passed I had to tell my mum knowing she is at work so when I rang to her she said I wasn’t supposed to ring her while she is at work but I did said wait wait I passed my level 3 BSL signing she was so happy and yaying cheering for me she was so happy to hear I has passed

Hi Wilf!
I'm new to you and your story but I've seen you mentioned absolutely loads, so how cool to put a face to the name!

Looks like you are having a terrific time. I have a son who has autism and learning disabilities and I really hope as he gets older he does as as much good stuff as you do.

Your pictures really have made me smile, thanks pal ☺
