Family, Photography and other misc news
Well the first month back at work and things are going well. We have
been going to the gym regularly, and I have got back into my running
routine.
We had our first walk of the year, we headed out along the old Louth –
Horncastle Canal and then back through the villages of Conningsby and Tattershall.
A good fit start to the year.
Mum Brown’s birthday went well and we went out for an Indian meal in
her local town. Yummy.
A New Year and its going to be new start to my photography.
The last couple of years has seen me do very little photography. I used to shoot at lot of landscapes, architecture and studio work, I had even shot the odd model portfolio for a Peterborough model agency.
But for some reason the creative side of me lost interest in photography.
Luckily for me we have a few keen photographers here at work, and them together with inspiration from internet sites such as Luminous Landscape sparked my interest again.
I had always ignored digital, not as good, not real, and the cameras were slow and hard to use.
Last year showed me that digital cameras has started to come of age. I had the pleasure of shooting with Canon 1DII , and I also got to try the Nikon D70, both were a pleasure to shoot with.
I have decided that i’ll give digital a try and to that end I have purchased a basic Nikon digital compact, to get me started.
There is a lot to learn but the adventure starts next month.

Caroline, Richard and Alan, Caroline’s father, were all there at The Lawn in Lincoln, to see Caroline pick up her award for outstanding achievement in Part Time Higher Education in Computer studies.
Caroline had a nice surprise. There was a letter waiting from Lincoln College. She has won a outstanding achievement award in Computing! Another chance to get get dressed up and go to an awards ceremony.
Well its happened! We’re finally Mr and Mrs Brown.
Everyone dreams of the perfect wedding, walking down the aisle, the perfect dress, feeling like a princess. Ours was as close to perfect as we could hope for.
We’re now off on our Honeymoon.
Until then heres some pictures our Best Man took with his phone, some of which he emailed all round our work friends!!!
Yes! Thanks Alison for all the Confetti!!!”
Can we also say a big thank you to all our family, friends and the Hotel and Photographer for making the day very special.
Especially to the two Angelas for the readings, the two Roberts for being our Witnesses and lastly to Paul for not revealing to much about us in his Best Man’s speech.
Not satisfied with one graduation; Caroline sponsored by Mouchel under took a second higher education qualification, this time a HNC in Computing.
“The last two years have seen much change in my life, many highs, of which Richard proposing to me, on the Wales biking tour has to be the most memorable, to terrible lows, the death of my Mother. Its been two years of fun, sadness and many late nights. I would here like to publicly thank my family and Richard for all they have had to put up with, and now with much shame here are the pictures… they may not stay up for long …
Thank you; Caroline”.
