We are now into the final week of this year's showcase and it is an honour to feature another contribution from a long time supporter of this blog, Susan Mellsopp.
Susan describes her entry as a "A unique tale of amusing and not so amusing stories of the nearly blind." It is a very powerful piece and made me stop and think about my own attitudes towards those that are visually impaired. It certainly gave me a better understanding of the difficulties they face. Thank you for sharing your insights Susan.

Susan lives in Hamilton, New Zealand, with her cream Labrador guide dog Maya. She has always been an avid reader who has two talking and a kindle book on the go at once, as well as a digital magazine. She has often said she must have been born in a library.
Susan runs a writing group, and has recently started writing longer memoir essays. She enjoys going to classical music concerts, gardening-mostly roses, knitting and meeting friends at cafes. She has recently purchased a keyboard and is reviving her playing skills. She loves learning about new technology. Travel is a huge passion but this has been halted by covid. She hopes to travel again soon.
