Quite sunny here on the Cheshire plain which allowed me to get the image that's in the gallery. I could not get it to load here even though I was using the image tag below. I can't load any more today which is perhaps just as well as there several here already which are very similar to what mine would be. It was an interesting experience.

These are all very good.

Where in Manchester were you Karel. We were just west of Knutsford.

Croeso cynnes, Chris. Enjoy your camera.

Where in the Principality are you from?

So, they can have it if they want it.

Sorry John, went off topic.

Hi John (JPP)

Have you tried Wilkinson's Cameras in Warrington? They stock Pentax but I don't know if they are a "Pro" dealer. I took my K5 in there to be repaired last year, it took a while to come back but that was the fault of the repairers . Wilkinson's staff were very obliging and chased it up for me when I complained.

As an aside - are you in East or West Cheshire? I'm in East Cheshire.

Cheers,

Howard

Hi Stu et al,

Thought you would like to see this

So behave yourselves lads.

Howard

Regretfully no I won't, My good lady has some shopping to do, so I've got to be at home. Also I've been to Anglesey today on family business so I don't fancy another dose of the M56/A55 so soon.

For eats and/or a comfort stop - Pringles in Llanfair PG is open again. And for something different why not go and see the lions and Nelson!!!

However it seems as if you have it all well organised.

Have a good day, I'm sorry I wont be with you.

That should help keep it near the top.

Howard

Hi Stu et al,

If you are going to Newborough to see the red squirrels I have been told that between 3 & 4 is a good time to go, that's when they are active. (That is the time I took the shots of the reds that I have in my portfolio). Also it used to cost £2, probably more now, to get down to the car park near the beach at Llanddwyn.

Cheers,

Howard

Hi,

I've been following this thread with interest as I was hoping to join you but it seems now that it may not happen.

If you are thinking of the Menai Strait then this -

is a very nice walk and takes you under the suspension bridge.

The first lay by after you come off the A55 is a good place for a stunning view of the strait also a good place to meet.

Hope that helps.

Pob lwc,

Howard

Hi Stu,

What a good idea. Couldn't make it last summer and there's no guarantee I could this year (my father is still with us at 103).

This sounds like an interesting place near Beaumaris -

I'll keep following the thread in the hope I can come ( I could do the interpreting for you).

Cheers.

Very sad news. I met Richard when he had an exhibition of his work in Northwich, he was very pleasant and amiable.

Regards,

Howard
