The weather this winter has been terrible for any form of photography, with very little sunshine since October. In fact, we have had only 41% of the sunlight we should have over the winter. Not conducive to wanting to get out and about with a camera, hence no blog updates for more than 2 months.

'Solent Ships' goes cruising - I am going on Vision of the Seas at the end of April, with my friend Patsy of Liner Lovers. It's a 4-night repositioning trip from Southampton to Copenhagen via Amsterdam. It should be a good trip, especially as I have not been on a cruise before and I can do some shipspotting and birdwatching; I am also hoping to combine the trip with some birdwatching in Copenhagen before we fly back to the UK.
