A mirror selfie. I'm a white woman wearing a brown cotton hair scarf, holding a camera and looking into the lens smiling.

The text reads - 'Disabled! The best word we have' Photo: Lucy is in the garden with Viola on her lap, they're wearing dark brown & mustard. You can just about see her ancient wheelchair.
