The Life in the UK test allows people to apply for British citizenship and its a test that requires substantial revision and preparation.

When it comes to enjoying art work, it can be dependent as much on texture as it is on visual effect. There have been many blind or partially sighted artists over the years who have used their changing eyesight to add individuality to their interpretations of art. So when we heard about a recent exhibition in London, that featured the work of blind or visually impaired artists, we wanted to know what it was all about. Our reporter Fern Lulham attended the exhibition and spoke to some artists about their fascinating creations.
