Life And Sport From An Armchair View
'Somebody' decided to help themselves to an after-dinner nap without any of us seeing them sneak in! It was the start of an eventful 24 hours for the young man as anybody who follows @this_disabled_life on Instagram would have seen last night.

As many of you will know by now, life has improved immeasurably since acquiring the assistance of a new care company earlier this year.

This episode was filmed over two evenings in order to cast an eye over as much of what was a truly remarkable Easter weekend's racing both at Faryhouse and Cork.
