Common Milkwort –
Polygala vulgaris –
just an udder plant?
Jokingly I call the plant ‘the tricolor’ because
it comes in the three colours of the French

Friends and family are talking about
their holiday plans, showing you the
glossy brochures with tempting views
but if you have a disability, it can seem
beyond your dreams. In fact, there are
plenty of opportunities for you to enjoy
sun, sea and sports holidays in France.

For many, the expression ‘disability’ conjures up visions of
elderly wheelchair-bound people but the word covers many
other conditions and age groups, each with its own basic
needs. For people facing disability after years of living an ablebodied
life there can be a feeling of loss, especially if they
enjoyed sports. With a little research, you can still meet those
needs and enjoy a relaxing or even an adventure holiday like
everyone else.
