For me!......

After my escapades of having difficulty of turning pens due to numbness in the hands and not being able to feel the transitions between bushes and blank, so I had a chat with our Bill Mooney.

Now he is one to inspire many due to his limited abilities, but he gave me some great tips of how he gets around his sight restrictions so decided to put them to the test.

Let you decide..

Bill is a top man, I've seen him in action and really am in awe of his achievements.

Thankyou Bill.

Its been a big help, made me realise there are other ways of making things happen and your advice and guidance has certainly made a difference for me.

I had totaled quite a few blanks before and couldn't get it right.

Good to chat and will catch up again in the not too distance.
