Pictures by Ian Duffield, Peter and Helen Cullens who visited in July with Marilyn, who did not take any pictures. The weather was beautiful apart from a showery quarter of an hour

Ian was trying out his Canon Eos 50D and a Sigma APO 150-500 mm f5 - 6.3 DG OS HSM. Ian also took pictures with his Lumix. Helen had lost automatic focussing on her camera and was trying to control a long lens with manual focus alone: Peter had no problems...
