    Slightly off topic but I haven’t posted in a while so why not

    I’ve become quite familiar with the inner workings of WordPress recently. This blog runs on WordPress but I’ve also done a couple of installations for my wife (who is amazing by the way!)

    Photo Blog (www.bryonyparkes.co.uk)

    This is pretty self explanatory. Bryony is a keen amateur photographer so she’s been posting photos and writing about the things she’s been learning as she hones her technique

    I think she’s pretty good but obviously I’m biased

    The Deaf One (www.thedeafone.co.uk)

    I’ve mentioned it a few times on here but Bryony is profoundly deaf. She has a type of hearing loss that generally gets worse as the years go by. She has started to look into a Cochlear Implant (the link explains what they are). It’s something that various different doctors have suggested down the years but until recently decided it wasn’t for her

    The blog is a journal that talks about the whole process and a bit of an outlet for all the thoughts and feelings that go with it as such it’s a massively life changing procedure

    Hopefully it will also give friends and family an insight into process and also what it’s actually like to have no hearing

    I just wanted to share so that if you or anyone you know may be interested go take a look!

    1. Really like the photo blog. Jealous of your wife’s D90. I’m still using a D40, but I do love my 18-200 VR lens :-)

      I remember how I actually had time to work on my hobby before starting my business…

    2. Hi Nick

      Glad you like the blog

      She’s only just had the D90, she had a minor windfall due to some back pay at work

      Can’t believe the price of some of this kit though! My first car cost less then the next lens she’s currently eyeing up!
