Happy Sunday to my bloggy friends everywhere! I hope I find you bright and perky on this sunshiny day. What's that you say, did thisisme say it was a bright day over there in darkest Devon?!
Yes indeedy! Woke up this morning to bright sunshine and a lovely, crisp blue sky sort of day. I immediately set myself out for a walk all around the village where I live. As you can see, the River Erme was in full flow after all the rain that we've been having. It was really quite noisy too, with all that water gushing down from Dartmoor.
Eeeek! I've got a real problem with posting photos. I' ve actually had to copy and paste the above photo from my facebook page. I've done my usual thing of clicking onto the little picture next to the link button and it won't allow me to get into the photos saved in the Pictures section of my computer. Any ideas, o wise ones?! This has never happened before, and I have tried it several times, to no avail :(
I had a few photos I was going to include today, so that's my post up the spout really, or up the creek without a paddle, as I haven't even been able to copy and paste the other ones. O woe is me!!
Another large high street store has closed this week because of the recession. Jessops was a really good camera/photo shop, where you could go and get invaluable advice if you were thinking about buying a new camera. I'm afraid it's just the latest in a long line of stores that have been closing on our high streets, some of which have been there since my childhood.
I honestly wonder how photographic shops manage to carry on these days, because we can do so much editing on our computers these days, that they are not really needed anymore.
It does make one wonder just exactly how long this recession is going on. I think it really is hitting everyone now, certainly over here in the U.K. I really don't envy the young ones these days, as they try to search for work, and goodness only knows how they are ever going to be able to afford a mortgage to buy their own homes. It really is quite a sorry state of affairs. We can only hope that there will be an upturn sooner rather than later, although I can see no sign of that the way our Government is talking.
I'm really sorry about the photos today my friends. Hopefully I will be able to get something sorted. Don't forget to contact me if you have any suggestions!!
Look after yourselves until we meet up again. Hugs.
