Kilve... and London

Since the demise of my poor little point & shoot I've not been anywhere near as prolific in my picture taking. I've been out for whole days and barely done anything. I've been using my sister's old Kodak CX7350 which produces pictures, but generally not the ones I want. It's also very slow and eats batteries like anything (not made for rechargeables). Boo and hiss. Therefore I present to you Kilve and London in eight photos.

A few weeks ago Niall came down from Bristol and drove us to the beach at Kilve. We had a walk along, he played with his medium format camera, I started my roll of Velvia 100F for Xpro, and we walked along the "beach" a bit. I say "beach" because at Kilve there are a lot of rocks, some silt, and a massive natural stone pavement. This is hard to describe and pictures do a much better job. I'll just say that it's fun to walk on so long as you avoid slipping into the many rockpools...

Some lovely rocky cliff

After going along the bottom a bit we took some steps up onto the cliff path to head back towards the car park. Looking over the edge, it was clear that this was a good idea as most of what we had been walking on was getting rapidly covered by the incoming tide.

A good reason not to get too close to the edge

Pretty purple on the cliffs

The weekend after our Kilve excursion I went up to London to see my sister and for Jith's birthday lunch. There were photowalkings and sittings in the park, but again not all that many photos. Hmm.

Aaand that's about it really. I journeyed by train to Bristol and then by coach to London, which allowed me to sort out flat things and see certain people on my way *and* cost slightly less than going the whole way by coach. I win!
