Another delve into the archives

I am still camera less however I have decided that I will either buy another Panasonic Lumix (very handy & a very good point & shoot) or a "bridge" Panasonic Z something, not quite a DSLR, as I can't be bothered carrying different lenses, I used to do that before digital when I had an old fashioned SLR, to heavy & too much hassle!

So until A*m**z*n, deliver we are delving again!

I have decided on these pictures, do not be astounded, as they actually show me, being taught how to fire a shotgun. Tom and I went to Ragley Hall last year to a small game fair and he dared me (he is a hotshot and didn't think that I would/could do it, he still hasn't learnt not to challenge me). The chap in charge is a top international clay pigeon shooter and the shotgun was a beautiful piece of workmanship with the stock intricately engraved.

If you do not shoot, this won't make much sense, I shot every clay coming towards but did struggle with the going away, however on my last shot I could choose and nomnated going away because "I was going to get the bugger!), which I did!

 Having a boy is a good incentive for trying new things, down to Tom I have gained qualifications in open water scuba diving, Powerboating level 2 licence, VHF radio operator (I can call a mayday), First aid disciplines, and other bits n bobs, such as quading, motorcrossing...... Now that he is moving away to Sparsholt College I expect that he will find new things to be involved in, I expect the gauntlet will be thrown down again!

He is off tomorrow to stay with my cousin in Virginia, when he comes back, the CLA game fair will be on

at Ragley Hall, it is a fantastic event and we will be going, so who knows what I will be upto!
