I’m using up my remaining holidays for 2024, taking every Monday off until Christmas so that I have long weekends to enjoy for the rest of the year. Unfortunately, the weather hasn’t been great, which has ruined our plans for hiking. On Saturday and Sunday, we actually had Storm Darragh sequestering us at home, and the weekends before, we had Storm Conall and Storm Bert.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our last walk, going up Caesar’s Camp<\/a> from Claycart Bottom, seems a distant memory now. The climb was difficult for P, but we still enjoyed the view from the summit. I took pictures on our way up and down. We were greeted by a beautiful view of the sun beaming through the colourful trees at Claycart Bottom, so I am hoping that the pictures from my film camera come out good. But I have to wait until I can finish the roll of film to develop it and see the results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I installed Nikon Scan software to replace VueScan and was very pleasantly surprised by the quality of the scans. Right off the scanner, the colours are good and require little correction. Here are some images from one of our walks along Basingstoke Canal<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
