I never did get around to taking a photo of the site, perhaps today?
Yesterday we visited Cirencester, just a cursory look around.
Today we visited Swindon, many many shops, just the same as any other town but much more seedy and run down than it used to be. I looked (yet again) at mobile phones but didn't see anything to take my fancy. Do I need a built in camera and mp3 player plus "apps" I'll never use? I need mine to go wrong for an excuse to buy another but it will need to be a very simple one!
I also looked at cameras for an upgrade on my 5Mp Pentax compact. I had high hopes with "The Digital Camera Shop"! Would you believe eye level view finders are now obsolete, you have to hold your camera at arms length peering at a screen with not a clue what you have taken as daylight renders the screen useless. I suppose we are expected to take dozens in the hope of getting one shot of roughly what we expected to photograph. The first assistant didn't listen to my request showing either huge cameras or the usual arms length jobs. Then the owner intervened confirming that nothing matched my specification. Again I did not buy!
