So, what's been happening in the 2½ months since I last updated this blog?
The big news is that Liz and I have decided to get married. Our wedding is due to take place in a few days time. It's going to be a fairly modest affair - a simple ceremony at the Register Office followed by lunch at a local restaurant.
In July I celebrated my 50th birthday. My main present was a new camera - the Olympus E-3. Two of my photos won certificates in the "Sheffield in Bloom" awards.
Liz has been very busy with her new job, which involves a lot of travel. Before she started we had a short break in the Lake District. The weather could best be described as "changeable" but we still managed to fit in several long walks on the fells. Coming down off the hills at the end of one walk, we were caught in a dramatic thunderstorm - a pretty scary experience!
