As I said in my previous post, I have seldom picked up my camera this past year. At the end of last year, November to be exact, I had a bi-lateral carpal tunnel op inhibiting the use of both hands and fingers. Neat small cuts in the palms made it awkward and tender to hold anything …
Well … hello again! I haven’t picked up my camera for ages hence the lack of posts and as this is a photostory blog, a camera is an essential element ! I note the last post was in June! How time flies ! Life just seems to be rather busy .. yoga several days a …
There were a couple of grim days on holiday .. this was one of them. Grim meaning it was warmish but cloudy and windy. A coffee morning at Sage Café in Salt Rock was the answer followed by a beach walk in the afternoon. Perfect ! Having a busy toddler means not all coffee mornings revolve around cosy cafes.

At best trying to focus was difficult enough !!! And then … later …
No photographs of Emma on the beach today. Some days my camera stayed in it’s bag surprisingly!! This was one of those days. Cellphones are a great back up, easy to whip out, click, send to Instagram and voila! Try as I may, missing out on capturing (with camera) a glorious sunrise is something I simply cannot do. A bonus was …
