Rental land is great, but there is so much more we can do with our own land
22 May 2024This is Myelin, he's recently received a very generous donation of his own purpose built wheelchair. Myelin has an incurable balance problem, which means he cannot stand or walk as his brain doesn't figure out his balance like every other ducks brain does.
His new wheelchair is amazing and he can do more than I thought he would be able to, on bumpy rural land. However what he needs is a nice smooth patch of well trimmed grass on properly flattened lawn. While we have a great landlord and are lucky to have the rental property we have now, it isn't financially feasible (or allowed in the tenancy agreement) to invest the time and money in creating the smooth area Myelin needs to be able to use his wheelchair completely independently.
One project I would love to build on our own land, is a smooth outdoor area, without any lumps and bumps, for Myelin to be able to walk and run about without needing any help from me.
