About this time last year, we went to Thursley Moat, a nature reserve nearer to Guildford than us, with the objective of photographing dragonflies. I can assert with a high degree of confidence that photographing dragonflies without the right equipment, and lot of patience and even more time is pretty much impossible (the right equipment is debatable e- what is that). I think with patience and time I might be able to get a lucky picture. I didn’t, by the way, get any pictures of dragonflies.
What we weren’t expecting and what I did manage to get a few pictures of was the family event of the Elstead Paper Boat race. This is where highly competitive families build boats made entirely out of paper & other non-polluting products and put them on the lake to see whose lasts the longest before disintegrating. We weren’t expecting the place to crowded, luckily we had arrived in time to get parking spaces.
We did have a lovely walk around the area with the other members of the Gosport Camera Club, and after that retired to the Three Horseshoes Pub in Thursley for a (in my case) a lovely lunch of roast lamb and all the trimmings, followed by what I can only describe as the best key Lime pie I can ever remember eating. A deliciously limey flavoured almost mousse consistency on a cholcolate cookie base. Absolutely delicious.
