No barriers to learning
"Being deaf is no barrier to learning and seeing someone like me achieving qualifications and working in a job that has a lot of responsibility has hopefully encouraged them to give it a go.”
When Erich Krogmann started the Food and Beverage Level 2 qualification, he had to learn how to balance study with a night job and a young family, but his main challenge came in the form of his hearing disability.
Erich says he thinks he’s inspired other people with a disability to take on training.

Restoration of Faded or Damaged Photographs
I restore digital images of photos that have been scanned to your PC. I can usually repair faded, out of focus or damaged images whether coloured or black and white. If you are interested, contact me at hendynz@gmail.com and I will give you instructions and a quote on the costs. I will not charge for any photos that can’t be repaired, or you are not satisfied with the result.
Below is an example of a recent restoration of a very faded photo taken of my great grandmother in the late 1800s.
