Cafe HQ:

-

As I had some free time after some important work this morning, I attended our towns local cafe, cafe HQ.

It was bustling and lively with a range of people and some with varying disabilities, it comforts me as a disability advocate to know people feel as safe and welcomed as I in this little cafe at the corner of the town.

I took some pictures and sat in a window seat and watched families pass me by and birds flock and fly, making beautiful patterns in the sky.

Despite being super busy the staff were wonderful and kind as always and I enjoyed a toffee cake slice and a much needed coffee latte.

It's been a while since I was able to frequent this establishment and I always feel at home there. 

I was able to get a little bit of writing work done before I had to dash off to the bus stop to get the bus home.

I captured our town clock upon my wait for the bus and this is my hometown and as hard as life has been for me around here recently, I always cherish it so.

Please enjoy the images I captured from my visit today and if you get the chance, do pop by and support local as they do amazing things and are supporting our town and community and I for one am grateful to cafe HQ.

I appreciate the cafe so much.

Sarah Wingfield.

I'm done with Bishop Auckland college:

I got a very unprofessional email (linkedin message) today after promoting the college and resharing several courses I shared this: A colleague had been informed that due to numbers the policing course can't go ahead. (My formal complaint via email is at the bottom of this blog post) So I simply shared a list of their nutritional courses (also helpful) and added if anyone was interested in the level three policing course to enroll asap (based on the information provided we didn't want to lose the course) I received this: I still haven't heard anything official from the college yet and I'm not happy with being told I'm not allowed to share courses to enrol. But to be honest the accusations of misinformation irk me to my core especially without any official correction or context. So I've blocked Adam on LinkedIn and I'm done with Bishop Auckland College now. I am removing myself SO FAST from everyone and everywhere that chooses disrespect over thoughtfulness. ...

Ramside Hall and Northern Housing Consortium:

I am excited to say that the event at Ramside Hall went spectacularly well, I attended with my best friend Corin and we had such a lovely time. I gave a wonderful speech as to how Northern Housing Consortium has helped me spectacularly with a bursary for my start up business www.magnoliaphotography.co.uk and I happily share the quoted speech I gave below:  " As a start-up business, I initially struggled to  meet the demands of contractual work. Creating art by finger painting on my phone screen was time-consuming, imprecise, and physically challenging. This made it difficult to meet my clients' expectations for detail and speed. Living with chronic pain and disabilities only added to these difficulties. When I learned through Livin Futures that Northern Housing Consortium was offering a start-up bursary, I immediately applied for a drawing tablet, hoping it could change the way I work. Receiving the bursary has been truly transformative. With my new drawing tablet, I can now ...

Cheers 😔 see: https://pgpandspd.blogspot.com/2024/06/hacked-stickers-betrayal-and-pride.html I got off the phone to Paul Howarth yesterday, whilst I'm with my son in public in a cafe, the ADM meet didn't go ahead, but we stayed anyway and my son encouraged me to merely enquire about the article and why my image was not printed, Paul stated it was a space issue but I explained he'd spliced images before and how much would it cost to get the photo in the paper so I can feel positively represented by my home town as a Newtonian since his only reason was the article was FREE, anyway he got rude and abruptly stated he does a LOT for ADM and it's ALL FREE and that he feels I'm being REALLY UNFAIR and hung u...
