Why am I learning BSL?

[Patrick in the FOD]

Two reasons really. As a retired person I want to keep my mind active so it still works well in the years to come.  Secondly, I volunteer locally at the “Forest Community Shed” and I think the ability to sign in BSL may be of help to the community in the future, when I get better. As my knowledge increases along with my confidence in signing, I would like to find someone to practice with, but not just yet.
