Such a long time since July 21 2011 things have happened , too many to try & put them all in here now. I have been busy doing things & forgetting to update my blog, such is life. working out the bits & pieces on the camera. Sending it back for repair/replacement. A week in August for a holiday & wedding celebration in Ilam, Staffordshire. August saw the start of my problems with my hips & legs, walking & standing were giving me BIG PROBLEMS. September saw us celebrating our Ruby Anniversary in Calahonda, Spain 2 weeks followed by a weeks cruise on Adventure of The Seas around the Western Med' . Christmas was a good do, Dad (or Granddad as he is known around the world) stayed with us & our two lads (Men, sorry) came & went throughout the holiday period. January saw us another year older. Had another cruise from Southampton, 11 nights on "Independence of The Seas". Granddad came too, he reckons it was too much, the length of cruise & "The boat was too big". His words. But, we all had a good time.
 I have recently started a photography group within Burton U3A, the original photo group was full, so I took on the waiting list I have discovered  a new blog which looks to be promising site for my photography learning curve. Thanks for the info Holly, I'm looking forward to the next lesson.
This was just a quick up-date, let's see if I can carry on in a more regular fashion.
That's it for now, got to get my camera out & take it for a walk.
