I have been very naughty, and not posted in my blog for 6 months :(

I am so sorry for this, and I promise that I will do better in the future.

I have had another operation on my knee since I last posted, and I now know that I have to have a knee replacement - but not until I am 60, and I am 52 next week!!! So I have a while to wait :(

I am really enjoying my photography, and here are a few photos I have taken in recent months



This photo was taken in November at Lower Slaughter in the Costwolds, on the way home from the Scrappers Unlimited Scrapbooking Retreat in Gloucester.







This photo was taken of the River Dee at Eccleston, just outside Chester last year, we were attempting to get Autumn colour, but for some reason the autumn colours were later this year.

Chris and I have bought a light tent, so that we can take still life photos under controlled lighting conditions, and here are some of the photos taken using it




























And I couldn't post these without letting you see how we managed to take them so here is a photo of Chris taking one of the photos





Chris and I went on a trip on the "Ferry across the Mersey" a couple of weeks ago, with a couple of friends from a Wirral Photography forum, here are a few of the photos taken on that trip










The first is of the oil depot at Eastham, the second is of the Liver Bird on the top of the Liver Buildings, the third is of the Liverpool Waterfront, and the last one is of the Pilot boat coming across the river to the Birkenhead landing stage. (I particularly like this photo)

What else has happened in the last 6 months? VIkki, my daughter moved house to Helsby on the 1 December, and she also had to undergo surgery on the 5 February, she had a cyst in her neck. All is well and there were no complications.

Paul, my husband took early retirement from Vauxhall Motors at the end of September, and has now had 6 months off work, and is bored, He is starting a new job as a gardener/handy man at a local Home for the Elderly, it is 18 hours a week, so it will keep him active and he will still be able to do the housework and cook my tea :)

I think that that is enough for now, and I will try to post a little more often in the future

Bye
