"I came to this park as a child. When I became an adult, alcohol consumed me and I forgot about the simple pleasures of life. Too much alcohol and not enough looking after myself is what led to me having my legs amputated 7 years ago. Coming to terms with losing my legs was one of the hardest things I've ever had to go through – but it’s what I needed to find myself again.

Since the amputation, I've been coming here near enough everyday. Through spending time here I've managed to find peace, and in the process kick the drink. The squirrels are so used to me that they come up and see me whenever I’m here - I'm part of the furniture now. This one’s pregnant, she's bigger every time I see her."
