VI myth-busting ‘Life goes on with gusto’

Summary

Talking at a recent TNF event, Penny Melville-Brown OBE, tackles some myths about being visually-impaired, explaining that ‘life goes on with gusto’ after sight loss. This is her story from Naval barrister to business owner, from HMRC non-executive director to travelling the world as the ‘Blind Baker’. Recipes and instructions from Penny’s book can be regularly found on TNF Soundings in our Time Out section – including this week’s recipe for home made ice cream with flavoured strawberries.
