Not technically new - but back for good!

Hello everyone! Remember me? Unlocker's other half? As you may know I stupidly broke my ankle whilst we were on honeymoon back in February (please see numerous photos of my foot in the Photos section if you're unsure!) For months, I have either not been able to get out and about to take photos, or haven't had the mobility to get into the right position to take a shot (crouching etc.) This has been very frustrating for me, and as such I have stayed away from the forum. It's nothing to do with you guys (you're great!) I just haven't felt that I could contribute because I couldn't take the photos I wanted to take. Anyway, enough depression - yesterday Unlocker and I went to Claydon House (Bucks) where I walked without crutches for the first time, and also managed to take the photos I wanted to take. So, I feel confident enough to share my thoughts and photos with you now. So I'm back... I'll count to 10 so you can run and hide! P.S. I will post some photos that I took at Claydon when I get home from work tonight! Thanks everyone for your thoughts and wishes during my difficult recovery, I may not have been on here actively, but I have read your comments and it's been a real encouragement. Fiona

Hmm.

So If you'd booked a romantic weekend abroad and found that the K7 was arriving at SRS on the Saturday afternoon, who would take precedent?

He works Saturdays so his weekend starts on Sundays, so he would have both models.

Actually, I can see many advantages in having your other half wanting to take pictures. At least you don't have to sneak new lenses into the house and hide them!

And there you go! No having to buy something else to placate the other half, as she gets some use out of it too! Just got to work out how to move purchases from my account to joint account now!

And as for the K-7 getting released on a Saturday, we wouldn't be on a romantic weekend, she'd be running the shop whilst I go to Watford!

Oh dear. I hope I'm not going to be responsible for a divorce. I'd hate to see you filing for joint custody of the 60-250!

She'll kill me for this, but just to prove she's back on her feet, no crutches!
