'I lost my sight at 15 and want to give others hope through art'
A teenage artist who lost her sight at aged 15 says having her work displayed is a dream come true. Lilly, from Kingstanding in Birmingham, was registered blind after undergoing surgery for several health issues, including the removal of two brain found joy in painting as she recovered in hospital, after being inspired by American painter Bob Ross. Her striking Hope Within the Mountains painting will be on display in Birmingham's Victoria Square throughout June. Lily said she was "happy, excited and surprised" it was part of the Open25 exhibition. "I was waiting for it to be put up so I could come down here and see it," she said. "Even though I'm blind, I can still see part of it [because] it's so bright. I'm just shocked." The teenager wants to inspire others and spread positivity and is promoting her work on social media under the name of Hope Studioz. Asked about the name of her displayed artwork, Lily said it was chosen by her mother, Cherie. "It seems right," she said. "It was perfect. The name just sounded right for the painting." Lily's father, Graham said he hoped his daughter would now understand how good she was. "She's a 15-year-old girl who is registered blind, and yet she produces art that's good enough to go up in an exhibition," he said. "Lily wasn't born with a middle name [but] we actually gave her the name Hope because of the journey she had gone on, because she has fought and battled through life. "Regardless of what goes on, she still creates beauty and keeps going. "Hope is the inner strength that Lil has that she shares with everyone through her painting."

Scranton couple inspired by The Office suggest Slough house swap
What do the American city of Scranton and the Berkshire town Slough have in common?For many TV fans, it's the UK and US versions of The Office, starring Ricky Gervais and Steve Carell as comical managers David Brent and Michael Scott respectively. More than 20 years since the UK version first aired, both shows continue to be binge-watched by fans across the one couple from Scranton, Philadelphia, is looking for people from Slough to do a house swap so they can compare the two. Andrew Maine and his wife Jennifer have lived in Scranton together for almost three years and think the town wasn't shown in the most flattering of lights. "If you mention Scranton to an outsider, the show is usually the first thing that comes to mind," Mr Maine told BBC Radio Berkshire. "Most people around here feel the show didn't do a good job of representing our area," Mr Maine explained."A lot of locals take offence the showrunners picked the area because it is economically depressed, boring and doesn't have much going for it."With websites dedicated to tours of Scranton for the show's fans, the couple feel the show has had an impact on how people see the city, which is near New York. Mr Maine continued: "There's so much to offer here, but we really feel like it's under-utilised."Hundreds of fans of The Office still make pilgrimages to Scranton every year. "The local government and businesses lean into this to a degree - there are several murals, a few exhibits, a walking tour and some merchandise." 'Unique link' "I love the show and it got me thinking, what impact has The Office had on Slough - is it the same as here?" Mr Maine is where the idea to do a cultural exchange came from and the couple is now looking to do a house swap or host some Slough Maine continued: "We could show them our area and then we could do the same thing over there."We thought it would be equal parts humorous and interesting. Sure, other cities have connections on a global scale, but ours, linked by a television show, is truly unique." You can follow BBC Berkshire on Facebook, X (Twitter), or Instagram.

My retirement warning to Care, Youngs, Cole, Brown and Goode
For more than two decades these players will have thought of themselves, principally, as rugby players and not just because it was their profession. I would bet much that even before they made it to the professional grade they thought of themselves as such. What they now have to accommodate is a different identity and one through which they can find ongoing fulfilment. They have had extraordinary experiences but must now find a new way forward. Coaching, managing, punditry; all might keep some involvement with rugby, but there is nothing like playing. Another factor they will have to accommodate is that they all played with clubs with very distinct identities. When players assume a role as part of a group, they assume some of the group's characteristics as part of their identity. Clubs with a highly developed sense of locality, such as Leicester Tigers, imperceptibly instil more than just an affinity between player and club. This affects players in a wider sense that is not always appreciated by players until they leave that environment (Hogg & van Knippenberg, 2005) (Turner, 2004). They need to think carefully about what sort of future career could give them a sufficient challenge and maintain an amended identity, all of which depends squarely on their own personality. Living in the non-sporting world can be frustratingly opaque. There is a thrill in publicly, and definitively, winning or losing a weekly contest – no arguing. I won; you lost. This can become addictive, and its intensity is enhanced by digital and social media. Finding a life that is not boring by comparison is not as easy as assumed. Financially, all of them should be comfortable by normal standards, but they should note that a past player survey commissioned by the Professional Players' Federation, (in partnership with the RPA, the PCA, and PFA) stated that 52 per cent of respondents reported financial difficulties in the five years immediately after stopping playing. The unfortunate experiences of playing greats such as Lawrence Dallaglio and Phil Vickery evidence that even winning a World Cup is no barrier to financial difficulties. What players should understand is that what makes them successful at sport does not necessarily lead them to make sensible financial decisions. Bars, restaurants and the like, are more exciting than gilts and longer-term investments but a player's fame is not enough to make a bad investment good. Taking egregious risks might win games; it is rarely the same in finance. It took me years of struggle, obtaining the relevant diplomas in counselling and psychotherapy, and a master's degree in psychology to understand all this. I salute your outstanding careers and good luck in whatever comes next. Just remember this – men, for a variety of proven reasons, are not good at asking for help when they get into trouble, especially regarding mental health (Schlichthorst et al, 2016). If you do struggle, there is no shame in asking for help.
