In The Plough at Stoke Lacy. A lovely evening with ( most of ) my family.

The Pumphouse

Saturday night - a really nice meal out with my dad and stepmum. Loads of unspoken issues between him and me but we try hard with each other. It was a nice weekend. And they bought two of Sandy's pictures!

We ate at The Pumphouse in Durham. A great place - do try the Miniature Dessert. It's not.

Sandra Haney at the Botanical Gardens in Durham

My friend Sandy's exhibition in Durham is on till the end of the month. Go and see it! Buy a picture!

Sunset over Bearpark

Sunday evening. Just sitting at my PC. Suddenly the light just came through the window. I dashed to get my camera - and went up to my attic room. Managed to catch this. If I'd been a moment quicker I'd have got Durham cathedral in the sunshine too. Another time.

Still learning about this digital camera stuff.

As well as my ixus i5 stills camera - the original lost on the Falls Road in Belfast ( Another time - ed) I've just got a digital video camera ( an even longer story ) and Adobe Premiere Pro 7 to edit it. I have the feeling that APP can do marvellous things but I can't work them out.
Need to find a course.

Not that I'll be able to deal with being taught that is...
