Home from Tunbridge Wells...

Don't you just luuuuv blogger!!?!

I tried to get these photos on this morning, before work... failed miserably! On and off all day, I've had other goes, and still miserable results... Finally, I worked out what the problem was... blogger doesn't like my photos!!!








Well, not surprising really - I turned the camera up to maximum pixels, so that when you click on the photos on the blog here, you get full-page images, instead of those hole in the corner affairs! And, it appears, that blogger baulks at trying to load more than two of these at the time! Oh well... I can either stop posting so darned many (hey, maybe it would make them more individual, more special!) ooooorrrrr I can just be patient, and post them two at the time... which is probably what I'll do, because although some of the shots are similar, I like them for different reasons. For instance, the one above is identical to the one immediately below, but in the one above, you get the whole-sky fandango. In the one directly below, there's the up-close-and-personal full-colour wow factor... I like them both.








Yesterday, I went shopping in the local town, Tunbridge Wells (which has a bit of a rep in this country for being where 'Disgusted of Tunbridge Wells' [signed at the end of letters to newspapers] comes from... you don't get so many guys like that there now, I don't think... but it is still slightly upmarket. I prefer Hastings for shopping - much cheaper, for the same brands, and if a product/ toy has run out everywhere else, chances are no-one in Hastings could afford it anyway, so they've usually got 'one last one left'!!








Anyway, back to the reason we went to TW - it was to get a cd I ordered several weeks ago for my eldest - Prokofiev's Romeo and Juliet - (he likes the classics, as well as many different modern/ popular musics) and it had come in a couple of weeks ago... I finally got round to fetching it after school only yesterday... I also stopped off at the local Julian Graves store and bought bombay mix, chilli crackers, honeycomb sweets, coconute mushrooms and many more goodies!!! These I was helping myself greedily to, when I noticed this lovely tinge in the sky. All along the dual carriageway, where there was nowhere to stop, I soaked up every glimpse, thinking it would be gone by the time I reached somewhere I could photograph it... but, (as my youngest would say in the choral voice of angels "Ahhh-aaah-aaah").









Going down the final lane to get home, I saw a gap in the trees and the hills, just opposite to a layby... so, obviously, I stopped and took the first photos. Then, closer to home, I stopped again by the reservoir... Ahhhh (I wish I could reproduce my daughter's lovely voice of angels, whenever anything goes unexpectedly right!) So, today you get to see them too... It's so good to have someone to share them with!!









And, unlike with professional photographers, you get to see all the shots, the different angles, that would normally end up on the cutting room floor! There's loads more, but these are my favourites...


Oh, I tried to go to several other blogs today, but for some reason couldn't leave comments (and elsewhere, I've written my long wordy comments, only to have blogger eat them! :-( ). So, if you haven't seen me around, it's because I couldn't get through...









Oh, and I just want to say...Yahay!

Congratulations That Frolicsome Kid!!!

Bestest Blog of the Day!!!
