Andy is a double-amputee who suggests that life with a disability - whilst often challenging - can have its lighter side. Since losing his lower right arm and leg in an accident three decades ago, he has had many adventures at home and abroad - though some adventures are best avoided!
During this presentation of pithy, entertaining poetry and commentary Andy shares about childhood years when, in an extraordinary way, wartime recollections of a WW1 soldier and a WW2 fighter pilot helped to prepare him for personal trials to come.
