Had expected to be in Dieppe…but…

….. the ferry did not run due to the high winds and in any event other personal matters intervened. Will probably give ferry crossings a miss until summer next year, but in the meantime have booked a few days away in the Peak District in October. I was thinking great scenery, and autumn colour - we shall see.

In the meantime have rejoined a local photographic club/society - Eastbourne Photographic Society. I was a member many moons ago when meetings were held on Friday evenings which was a difficult day for me, and in the end, I stopped going. Now meetings are on a Tuesday it is much more convenient and I am enjoying re-connecting with people I know from before as well as with new people.

Finally I am awaiting the delivery of a Tamron 70-300mm f/4.5-6.3 Di III RXD lens for my Nkon Z6ii. Bought the lens used from MPB at a good price and with their usual great level of service. Unfortunately MPB’s service has not been matched by the courier who it appears might have lost the parcel! To be fair their customer service staff have been really good in keeping me informed, but I would rather have had the lens - especially as I waited in all day for two days when it was supposed to have been delivered.
