Holiday cottage

Well perhaps that is a misnomer.

This is taken with my iPad. I made a list of all the things to bring for our holiday in Shropshire
The one vital thing I forgot is the wire that lets me download the photosfrom my new camera into 
my iPad to the use as blip.

Tomorrow I may at last learn how to use the camera’s wi fi. But I amtoo tired to learn that tonight.

On the way down here we stopped at the National Trust country house Attingham Park. Nothing like a bowl of
NT soup and chunky bread.
You should have been getting shots from there but they are stuck in the camera.

The last time I was there was in 1959. I was 24 and attending a conference of University Student’s Union officials.

I recall that after a long night with rather too much alcohol, three of us set off at 4a.m. to climb a nearby hill called The Wrekin in the hope of seeing the sunrise.
At the top found a BBC radio transmitter with an engineer in a caravan looking after it.

He took pity on us and made bacon sandwiches and coffee for us. And we saw the sun.

Happy days.
