The spare part for my “big” camera has arrived and Dave Cole in Uphill has fitted it. Brilliant. I was wondering whether I would become too fond of my new “small” camera, but, handy though it is for sticking in a (large-ish) pocket, it can’t compete with a beefy dSLR. What can?

Uphill, south of Weston-Super-Mare, is one of those quirky places which you either love or, well, don’t feel that strongly about. Probably a bit of an exaggeration to compare it to the Carmargue or the Isle de Ré, but a bit up-market from Severn Beach or Canvey Island. After collecting my camera body from Dave, S. and I had a walk along the beach and I, of course, took some photos (“small” camera as I didn’t have a lens for the big one). It wasn’t the same without Archie, obviously, but nice enough.
