My local Sight Loss Group

This is the amazing Wakefield District Sight Aid.

My local group that I’ve been part of for nearly a year now.

Like Jean, who is such a lovely lady btw, I met other people with sight loss during last years Sight loss Course (2022).This charity in my home city, does so much good for us all. I really appreciate the welcome everyone gave me last year entering that room. Not knowing how things would go. One of the best decisions I’ve ever made.

If there is a group near you, and you’re umming and arring, I would urge you to go.

Fundraising calendar winner!

I’ve visited Buttermere in the Lake District, Cumbria several times now and a few weeks ago I took this photograph below. I’m getting better at concentrating and taking my time at taking good photographs, instead of just tapping away.

So when I heard about Stargardt’s Connected photography competition for people with Stargardts Disease, I sent it off and I won a place in their 2023 calendar to raise money for their continued awareness and raising money to research a cure for our condition.

The calendar is on sale now if you wish to help this brilliant cause. Link for this is below.
