After doing all sorts of research, I have just ordered myself another camera, which sounds most suited to my needs. It was in the price range I preferred and is apparently really good for scenic photos. We shall see. It'll be heavier than my little point and shoot Panasonic, so I will need to get a suitable camera case if the couple I have here don't suit. I've gone for another Panasonic Lumix - the DMC-FZ82, from the company that you recommended Billy. Many thanks. Time will tell if I've made the right choice : ) Excited to take delivery so I have paid a fiver for next day delivery. As an Aries I am impatient and once I have made my mind up on something, I want it yesterday!
Tam was here for 24 hours over the weekend, to help me at a small Militaria Fair we have done for a few years now, so lots of friends there. Keith stayed home and rested. We should have done the same as people were being careful with their pennies. A few more of Tam's belongings have gone to her new home but next time a couple of bigger chunks are going and I will be able to move some of her boxes from the pink bedroom into her old bedroom, and tuck them out of the way.
We spent time at the Fair yesterday choosing the kitchen tiles - Wightwick Ceramic Ink , and a lovely aged copper glass splash back. Trying to get excited about my new kitchen, but my mind is seeing work to empty cupboards and stack it wherever there is space!! This is not going to be a cheap month but the kitchen is the last big job here.
We have LOTS of House Martins this year - 5 families are setting up home on old sites under the eaves. When I am putting my makeup on in the bathroom though, it's a bit discombobulating having them flying right up past the window on their nest-building flights! Two Swallow families are now back in the old tack/feed room. All is good.
