You know the old saying, that you're still using your grandfathers yard brush; it's just had the handle replaced 5 times and 7 new heads. I love that and but it's slowly happening to my camera! There's a little story....
I've been away for some time now and first it was illness, then it was a walking holiday and then serious mental illness upon return which has yet to calm down (to be brutally honest).
Let me say Cumbria is a spectacular place, a haven on earth and I encourage you to get there and hike!
Whilst we were there there was an accident with my camera in that someone (not me) thought they'd carry it for me and unbuckled it from my backpack without a word...it then bounced off the ground, rolled off a hill edge and landed in a rocky stream. Equals busted camera LCD screen and a very shocked and sad me. Plus an eternally sorry ginger haired husband.
So I recently received a new Sony a6000 body and add that to my replacement Sony a6000 kit lens last winter and 'my camera' is still as good as new. Lordy please let that be the end pf the accidents.
Anyway, first outing with said camera happened yesterday when I made my triumphant return to the allotment. Yep, haven't been near the place since the last post.
It was a jungle! There be monsters in there for sure, but with Toby on our team how could we fail to be victorious?
Before

Oh those photos aren't quite right, I need to tweak by settings on the new camera body *blush*
Let's talk mismanagement and neglect....
* The garlic died back - there is not one single plant
* The leeks bolted, every single one
* The peas look quite sad
But - the spuds are going great, the broad beans look super healthy and though I couldn't get as far down the weed choked paths to see them, I am assured the apples are lovely (need thinning though).
There was torrential rain which stopped play but we did quite well really. Recently its been touch and go as to whether we continued at all but we're more positive now. Andrew even went back later on Sunday night and planted out some things (squashes and peas?)
For now I leave you with a big hug

I’d be devastated if my camera broke whilst 0n holiday. Good luck with the new one.
ReplyDeleteHello I'm sorry to read about your camera mishap. It's not been plotting weather recently that's for sure. let's hope for drier, sunnier weather soon. Take care, and hugs. xx
ReplyDeleteOh, my dear, I saw a glimpse of your camera's accident on FB. Hope all is well again. I'd forgotten we have the same camera (Sony a6000). Did you get the long zoom for it? As for the garden.... well, these things do happen. At least you have spuds.
ReplyDeleteHope you had a cellphone to use while you were away?
