Have some respect! It’s J.R.R. Tolkien – don’t be forgetting those middle initials! As someone with 2 middle initials myself, I get bothered when people leave one out. I’m sure Tolkien is the same.

Also Offa’s Dyke Path sounds like some kind of lesbian underground movement from Game of Thrones.

I do believe Sir that you copied me for the idea of King. You only got your costume because I told you about the fancy dress shop! Tut Tut! All lies! Well I was Richard the Lionheart!

I remember as a child spending a couple of summer holidays in this area around the Forest of Dean. It truly is a beautiful area from my memory and those photos.

I also remember going caving on one of those trips so I wonder if it is the same place that you visited. I enjoyed the experience but then again I was a lot smaller then.

Nice post Rexy vene if you do get my website name wrong – it should be TomarHawk’s Travels! It was pretty chilling staying in that castle and even scarier with you there!

Well written. I could almost feel your emotions and the way it felt to be in the midst of spirits!

Hi Ed – really well written post and good for you for putting yourself out there. I enjoyed the chat at Traverse and will follow up on that. Meanwhile, stay true to yourself and your writing – you will do well. All the best, Steve

Hey Ed, it was awesome meeting you at Traverse and this is a great post, thanks for being open and honest Sorry to hear that you weren’t enjoying it as much as you could have though. Accessibility isn’t always top of the agenda for most people – I’m always trying to raise awareness at work though in relation to developing accessible online learning materials and highlighting how accessibility is beneficial for everyone. I’m still learning too, we all make mistakes sometimes or could approach things differently, which is why feedback is important and I think there’s some very useful feedback here that could improve a lot of conferences, workshops etc and I’m gong to share this with some of my colleagues. I regularly attend events where a speaker isn’t loud enough or I can’t hear a participant/delegate asking a question because they have their back to me, so there is definitely room for improvement.

If I hadn’t met you on Twitter before the event, I would not have known you were deaf when we first met. You may not have been feeling your usual self at the conference but I still saw that personality shining through

Great post Rexy, really interesting to hear this insight from you. We did intentionally try to create a chill out area at the after party with some tables and chairs (where the instagram wall was). This was more so that people could chat and the music wouldn’t be too loud but I think most people didn’t use it because they were busy hitting the shots at the bar!

I thought you were one of the more out going people at the conference so I wouldn’t worry about being quiet! I think the great thing about the people who attended Traverse is they (from what I saw) were really open and welcoming.
