She may have a speech disability, but don't be fooled. Sue never shuts up.
Frequently seen making rude gestures at people, Sue attempts to reframe her finger behaviour as Auslan. Only, we know better.........
Sue Bayliss
aka Grandma Bayliss
Sue also uses a floral, old Grandma, walking stick. Soooooooo, I'd better not say too much lest I be wearing the damn stick as my "something used" on the wedding day.
Seriously, Sue has spasmodic dysphonia, a neurological disorder that has savagely attacked several muscle groups; her speech, balance, fine and gross motor skills are affected.
Sue keeps a blog and consciousness raises around the debilitating disability. To find out more about it, check her out at Spasmodic Dysphonia (A supportive voice for those of us who struggle with voice). Leave her a message and let her know you'll catch her at the Wedding in the Rainforest.

Spasmodic dysphonia and cervical dystonia I have, that is true but beware. Funny voice, the shakes, twisted body, and my fancy walking stick won't stop me catching up with you! I will think of something, don't you worry about that.
Nice photographs. I like the ladybugs journey too. XX
