Good to hear from you too Eric - and yes the onslaught of technology has been quite impressive to watch.

Don't think I'll ever belong to the 95% who are just happy with a phone but 95% of the time it's all I need.

Interesting to hear about the Fuji X systems proving so popular - I'm still in the full frame camp for now - I'm yet to see a smaller format camera I like so far. But then again I adore the super wide-angle perspective and that always seems hard to replicate on smaller format cameras.

Being dragged around Europe doesn't sound too bad! At the moment I'm travelling to Austria once a month which is nice, but only ever for 2-3 days at a time. Thankfully I'm already planning this year's annual pilgrimage to Austria by car via Germany so I can visit various friends. That has always proven to be a good trip - this year we'll probably head into Italy as my family are based about 2 hours from the border so it'd be rude not to. So should get some decent photo opportunities once again.


We love Austria...especially your amazing service stations. They put the UK dirty, overpriced grotty places to shame! My wife is a Ski Jumping fan so it was inevitable we visited the Bergisel and even took in Bischopshofen. Like many we enjoyed a memorable drive over the Grossglockner(twice!) ..snow ploughs were out the day before we drove the route, in June! Also spent time in S. Austria around Villach. I will stop reminiscing and leave an image of the Grossglockner mountain road ...for any other members who havent driven over the roof of Austria.....
