The Chestnut Fête - Handicap Aventure


This smiling lady is handicapped and selling her wares from a wheelchair. She told me she makes some of the little ornaments herself, others she buys to sell. She also promotes the magazine you see in the smaller photograph Handicap Aventure.

Her position amongst the other stallholders was half way up a very steep slope so someone had pushed her there. She joked about it. I'd love to have got a snap of her with a big grin as she only has one tooth, dead centre, in her upper jaw. A great lady and quite a character.

  2. A sweet smile! Physically handicapped people certainly have to have stamina because our cities don't make it any easier for them to navigate.

  6. A lovely portrait, Jilly! Thank you for introducing us to her. I love finding bios like this among our scenes from around the CDPB world.
