Well, wish me luck, off camping in Exmoor tomorrow..putting up a tent in a thunderstorm by the looks of it!!

Has been a year of jubilee's , Olympics, world cups, blimey lots going on and only 8 months in!!

As I said, I'll not be on here posting very much twixt now & December, was just trawling & deleting through my photos & stumbled on this one..I prefer it colour popped, but as I done this one of my niece for my sis in law, she wanted it in just a simple black & white vignette....and here it is..my niece awaiting the olympic torch to come through our village. !

Anyway...have a great week, and think of me sheltering under the stars...that will be conveniently hidden under thunderclouds.

Bon voyage.

beautiful digital effects, the retro look reminds me of children cheering the british troops after world war.
