Of course - these children have advantage - eldest three - earliest memories of me chasing after them in wheel chair and then mit walking frames und so weiter...










Und Liebchen - the best bit of all this - I had wheelchair powered by an electric motor - und - er - um - I tinkered with the motor a bit and this thing could accelerate quite nicely - do not recommend taking a corner too fast in one though .

Well - you could say I got "done for speeding once" - about the only time I got a ticking off by the plod for "speeding". OK - so it was on a pavement in pedestrianised part of town - and the ramblers had to jump outa the way of me as I hurtled along at the truly dangerous speed of 12 mph downhill after my eldest - then almost four and the twins - almost two at the time.... they had slipped the reins .... Even better was the handbrake turn I managed as well.... The plod was dying to laugh - I am sure it was mock "anger"....


Wildy, you're a friggin' maniac!!!

Das weiss ich

I was young Mama in those days..... Just short of 26th Birthday when accident occurred und twins were 7 months at time of this crunch ....

But ... when they find legs - amazing how fast they can go - would say they ran faster then than they do now..... needed fast turbo charged wheelchair to keep up ...

But have not changed that much over the years - even more of rebel now than I was then
