It was suggested that we get away from the house for a walk and a picnic. I must admit that I was a bit doubtful that I would enjoy it. We went to West Walk Forest of Bere

A walk through a managed forest, so good tracks. As I suspected, it was busy. But, not so busy that we didn’t feel safe and not able to enjoy ourselves. We walked just over three miles, and it was a slow one, but that’s OK. We didn’t quite get lost, but we did turn right, when we should have turned left. That mistake might have added half a mile to the walk, but not to worry, it was worth it.
After all that, it was very nice to sit down to a small but very adequate picnic – we made sure we took our rubbish home with us. It really was a very pleasant interlude, and we will definitely go back.
I have to confess that I have been seduced by the iphone camera. It’s easier, and the pictures are of an excellent quality. But, they are not as good as my Nikon, with my Tamron 18-400mm lens it is an effective camera, and whilst the sensor size is only slightly bigger than the iphone, the quality of the glass is significant and there is a quality to a Nikon picture that I don’t get with the iphone. I shall continue though, to use both cameras, but whereas I have been neglecting the Nikon, I am bringing it back in to use more frequently now.
