I've been holding out for broadband but it'll probably be a few more weeks before there's anything so I promise a new post tomorrow from an awful Internet café.<br />@Pity - Oh thanks so much. I love your photos so feel very honoured.<br />@Agnès - I'm curious to see the results with these cameras. You're such a wonderful photographer so I'm sure they'll be great. Last week I bought a medium format camera with two lenses and then a Diana so I can't wait to get started.<br />@Sasa - Wow, out of a coffee table book, thanks a lot. I still feel sad about Jemima but also glad I had the chance to say goodbye and that she was part of our lives for 10 years.<br />@Lost past remembered - Something tells me you'd love Scott's house. It'd be nice to go there with you, sharing our impressions.Thankfully, the move is over and I've settled in but more about that soon..<br />@Cocina Savant - Thanks for the kind words! I use a Canon 1000d with a 50 mm lens. It's one of the cheapest SLRs on the market but also great for beginners and I've enjoyed using it the minute I got it.<br />@Julia - Merci chère Julia! Je suis touchée par tes mots. Partir m'a fait beaucoup de bien et j'espère finalement faire un billet sur Londres cette semaine. <br />@Des - Oh but I've missed you too! Hope to have more time tomorrow to stop by, although I must have missed so many good posts. <br />@cj - With comments like that, how could I resist? Sorry for my absence but I promise some news this week. By the way, I found Mr Rosenblum's list last week and totally love it. Thanks for the tip!Emilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06967855350498876132noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3703049574993181756.post-8171361215724141592010-08-16T04:15:37.762-07:002010-08-16T04:15:37.762-07:00Ah, Vanessa, where art thou?Ah, Vanessa, where art thou?cjnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3703049574993181756.post-78053240642390862122010-08-15T01:48:06.547-07:002010-08-15T01:48:06.547-07:00Wonderful post.

And speaking of analog cameras, I've just found my grandfather's old camera at my parents' house. It's a folding (!) Kodak 620 from the late 40's with an Angénieux 100mm lens... I sense a great potential for fun and mishaps there (the viewfinder isn't at all connected to the main optical system and of course it's manual focus only).Agnèshttp://www.plouf.de/fotonoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3703049574993181756.post-39777153322777534782010-08-06T11:39:29.056-07:002010-08-06T11:39:29.056-07:00what a lovely glimpse of what your trip was, you h...what a lovely glimpse of what your trip was, you had the best cakes, cupcakes, cup of tea, and the best photos too, keep it up! cheers from londonPityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07946505775028368640noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3703049574993181756.post-34411383329597030502010-08-04T14:33:51.049-07:002010-08-04T14:33:51.049-07:00I always miss one so forgive me Bree!

Things are a bit chaotic and I'm surrounded by boxes but I promise you a new post on London in the next few days. In the meantime, sorry for my absence on my and your blogs.<br />@Barbara - Oh how wonderful it must be to live near water. Somehow, I can never get tired of it, it seems so mysterious and calming.<br />@Juliana - Oh thanks so much for taking the time to look at them. I hope to find some time next week to check out your blog.<br />@Nicolette - I'm so pleased the photos made you feel like that. Books and cakes are my big weaknesses but then you already knew that.<br />@P.K - Thanks so much, it was wonderful.<br />@Alison - Dryborough was my favourite abbey and I loved the reflection on that morning.<br />@Magda - Me too! There are a few great cemetaries in Berlin I haven't been to yet and I hope to have more time for that after this move, as well as getting around to our blog.<br />@Natural Selection - I'm so pleased to hear that!<br />@Lazaro - Thanks so much for the lovely comments as always.It was the best lemon cheesecake, although I think it was a non baked one so I'll have to try that out.Emilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06967855350498876132noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3703049574993181756.post-20832176744331327972010-08-04T09:46:59.465-07:002010-08-04T09:46:59.465-07:00Lovely photos.

In London, I'm hoping to see My Night with Maud.<br />@Pia - Oh but I really like your photos! Actually, I only use one lens so think that's an advantage because you get used to what it can and can't do. Having said that, I feel terribly nostalgic for film and am seriously thinking about getting a Rolleiflex or an analogue SLR later in the year. I share your weakness for this Penguin merchandise and the bed set sounds like a wonderful idea - how about the Big Sleep? You've never eaten lemon cheesecake?
