Standing on the Euston road holding onto my guide dog Miss Molly’s harness whilst my ears are filled with sirens, travellers with wheelie suitcases dragging on the concrete and the smell of petrol up my nose I turn to reply and say hi.
My main character, Ella Jones, who is blind like me was able to experience a touch tour which helped her get the artifacts she needs to get the light back for humanity.
The British Museum has volunteer-ran touch tours in the Egyptian sculpture displays, letting blind visitors explore objects through touch and guided discussion.
I have an exclusive experience as sighted people can’t touch anything and I get a touch tour!
I’m always using my ears at max capacity so we’re usually very tired when we get home and that’s before I’ve even spoken about guide dog taxi refusals.
