Mine on Monday – Happy Golfer

Today Brian tells me he achieved the ultimate golfing feat – a hole in one on the 13th which was 213 yards @ Burstead Golf Club.  I wasn’t sufficiently impressed by the statement so I am trying to make amends here by doctoring this picture I took in Tenerife last summer.


It does have its price though – he had to buy everyone a drink in the clubhouse !

NOT Mine on Monday

This is not a regular ‘Mine on Monday’ post however I did love the Canon 5d like one of my children. I bought my first in 2006 and it was working with the full frame 12mp beauty that elevated my photography to another level.  When I decided to sell my third and final 5d body I had to find someone that would cherish it as much as I did and as Lesley already had one I offered it to Helen. She was actually the last person to use it when Helen assisted me at my last wedding of 2009 and I knew she loved it then. Wow that was the quickest response ever ! She is now the proud owner of this awesome piece of kit which will come in very handy as she is expecting her first baby soon :) I felt a little sad packing it up but I knew it was going to a very good home.

Mine on Monday

This session was the last time I got the boys in the studio (November 2008) bribery no longer works and now Ethan is taller than me threats are pointless LOL
