Paula and I celebrated 5 years of successful marriage this week by attending Jethro Tull's excellent concert with guest Lucia Micarelli on violin at the Anvil in Basingstoke. We also had a 2 day break in our honeymoon hotel in Bournemouth on the South coast. We visited "Oceanarium -the Bournemouth Aquarium" by the Pier. Quite superb time was had. We enjoyed the rescue birds in the park there too. Today's actually the day and we spent best part feeding our own birds and uploading on the computer-quite relaxing! All the Best Colin

Last night I used the newish negative scan part of our "all in one" printer and found an old 35mm b/w negative in my archies I've probably not looked at in 20 years-I think i only hand printed about 6 shots (not very well). So it was good memories of my pidgeon phrase book French armed with my Canon AE-1 Program camera. Hope to scan some more soon bfn colin
