In Nottingham

A crazy idea to go to Nottingham in this weather but in the end, it wasn't too bad. The car had a/c, the tram had a cooling system and I managed to walk the short distance from the tram stop to the London Camera Exchange (LCE) in the shade. Plus there was a little breeze from time to time.

My trusty Canon 24-70 2.8mm lens is not working properly in autofocus. I took it to LCE. The man said it would have to be sent away for which they would charge me £35 thank you very much just to get an estimate for repair.

I asked to try the new model with which I took this shot of the interior of the shop. Fast, smooth action and no hiccups. I was refused finance! Thank you NOT Experian. I suspect my old lens has had it although it still works in manual focus mode.

A cup of tea and a gluten free sandwich at HomeMade cafe up the road, in the shade, before catching the tram back to Clifton South Park and Ride. Easy peasy.

Extra is of a Common Blue Butterfly which has been visiting the garden and enjoys supping on the mint flowers.

Lovely golden light on the trees this evening.
