In our sight loss story this week, Hubert chats to Rimple about her journey. They also chat about going to the gym, how it helps with so many aspects, and also how to make the experience more accessible.

Imagine losing not just your sight, but the very memory of it. That's a different kind of blindness.
RNIB Connect Radio's Paulina Kuchorew went along to the "Everything Near Becomes Distant" exhibition by Digital Photographic Artist Robert H. King.
The Exhibition is on ad Clydebank Town Hall until 14th of May. Find out more here: Robert H. King | Photography and Digital Art
Image shows Robert posing in front of his favourite image at the exhibition. He's dressed in black, has light short hair a light short beard peppered with white and is wearing his dark glasses. The print behind him is a swirl of bright oranges and yellows at the centre with gradients of blue and cream above and green and grey below.
