iReminisce: The St Maarten Necklace

The smell of the locals cooking on the market was amazing, but Sarah had found a sweet little craft stall. The lady created items from the coral found off the shores St Maarten. β€œOooooh, i could have a necklace made from St Maarten”. I knew that to mean “i’m getting one, i just don’t know which one yet?!β€Β πŸ€£ Β

iReminisce: Elephants Foot

Elephant s Foot

After being back in my home town ofΒ DerbyΒ this weekend, i didn’t want to leave without having an β€˜Elephants Foot’ from Birds. Other bakers around the country do similar styles of cakes, but never taste anything like one of these beauty’s, they simply can’t be beaten! MyΒ sisterΒ got me a box of 4 to take back home and Sarah & i can’t thank her enough!Β πŸ˜€ Β 

If you visit Derby or Derbyshire then i recommend that you try one!

i C Photo Challenge: Cars & Trucks

I C Photo Challenge Logoβ€œYou don’t need sight to see, you need vision”

As a “Blind Photographer” I love taking part in photo challenges andΒ seeing how creative other bloggers can be with their images. This hasΒ fired myΒ imagination and prompted me to host a photo challenge of my own!!!

The β€œi C Photo Challenge” will have a theme each week – To get youΒ thinking about the things you’d miss if you lost your sight and provideΒ a chance for you to be as creative as possible – Taking photos you mayΒ never have considered taking before, of things you would usuallyΒ overlook. I’d like you to show me things you think I’d love to see…. things I’veΒ missed since loosing most of my sight.

Use any camera you have available … it’s about the thought going intoΒ the image not the image quality… although high quality will make itΒ easier for me to zoom in and see.Β 

And above all ENJOY πŸ˜€ taken from my β€œi C Photo Challenge” page.

Week 1

i C Photo Challenge: Cars & Trucks

Pickup Truck

 ⇧ Looks like Mater ~ Photo taken using iPhone 4s ⇧ 

I chose β€˜Cars & Trucks’ as my first challenge, as when i was fully sighted i used to be a panel beater in a body shop, where i repaired, restored and customised cars. I’ve driven many cars ranging from Citroen 2CV’s unto Rolls Royce’s and a lot in-between. Β I love american cars and love the sound of a V8! It’s just not the same listening to cars but not seeing them!Β 

For this weeks challenge, create a new post with a photo/photos of any car or truck you think is interesting or i might not of seen before. This can include close up shots of engines, badges, lights…… anything relating to the theme, be creative!! πŸ™‚

Β Please remember to include a link back here so i can see (and not miss) your creations. New challenges every Friday!

Happy Birthday Sarah – Part 2

Β 

For part of Sarah’s birthday present I booked a 1 night stay in the Thistle Hotel in Brighton. The hotel was lovely and the view from the room had a full panoramic view of the beach and pier.

Sarah sat in the window relaxing with the view of the pier

We had a meal in the restaurant inside the hotel on the first evening which was lovely as the table had a similar panoramic view, and I had the best scotch egg (cooked in a posh way! lol) I have ever tasted!Β 

Posh Scotch Egg! :D

On the second day my friend Ben (excellent poem creator), Rosie & Vini came down to meet us for the day. We enjoyed a walk along the pier and Vini had a ride on the Horror Hotel!
