This post is part of The Gallery over at Sticky Fingers ********************************** My desire and search for a new camera is much publicised on Twitter.

So…… tiddlyompompom tagged me in a meme and well, it’d be rude not to get involved… Here goes…. *********************** 1. Are you a meticulous planner?

Dear Dad It’s Fathers Day today and for the first time in a long time, I’m not at home to see you. I don’t even think I remembered a card.  How rubbish is that? I know, I know, you’ll tell me that you don’t need a card and that you don’t want anything for Fathers [...]
