More than once have I been asked the question 'would you rather be deaf or blind,' and I always, always answer - blind. Obviously I've never had to genuinely consider this as I'm lucky to have the gift of all of my senses and never would wish the loss of them on anybody, but my main reason for answering this question in such a way is down to music and the importance that it has in my life. Not a day goes by when I don't listen to music. When I'm driving, while getting ready, while writing, on my walk to work, and many more.

smiley familiar faces that frequent the shop and brighten the day
whatever the weather. I still remember each customers little qwerks
whether it's a particular mug that they like or how many grains of
sugar they want in their tea or coffee. This all adds to the

mind! The Saturday crew never fail to turn up in force bringing lots
of laughs, listening to Mike's repeated stories and making the grill
work harder than the ice Cream machine, thank you!
