Time to chat all things sight loss, wellbeing and happiness, on your latest episode of Happy Hour!

This week, Paulina has a load of great tracks for you, a random wellness fact about smiling, and of course some of those great interviews you look forward to each week.

Allan Russell hears from Will Bridge, one of the organisers of the Sailing Week, to find out how you can give sailing a go.

Paulina speaks with Ameet Hundal and Sanjeet Dhillon from Without Shape Without Form art organisation about their 'Journey of the Mind' exhibition, which explores how Sikh teachings and heritage can have a positive impact on our mind and our lives.. 

And finally, Karen Wye shares her personal story of being diagnosed with sight loss, with our Toby Davey.
