What I am enjoying in particular with the LC-A is its portability, it’s no problem to pull it out of my pocket as I go about my business. The fountain is at my work, the path was a walk after work, and the plates were lunch with a friend.

I got another Lomo LC-A roll developed. We’ve been having some sun around here. It’s still really freezing cold though.

After a long time of pondering buying a LC-A I saw a good deal on Ebay and so went for it, and it arrived from Russia today. I hurried out straight away at lunchtime to test it giving myself 30 minutes to take a roll of 36 pictures, a photo challenge! So that is what this jumble of photos is. This way I can also remember what I did to take the pictures so hopefully improve next time, it’s fun getting to know a new camera :) The film I used was Fuji Superia 400 as that is what I had in stock.

With the weather remaining so grey and bleak the best thing I have found is to get into bed and read to get inspired. Drape Drape (ISBN: 9784579112531) is a slender pattern book I bought in Japan, as the title says it’s all about clothes that drape. Once I get over this winter ennui I might even make something from it. So much cleverness in getting something to drape ‘just so’.

My sister gave me a voucher for a mystery trip at the end of last year as a gift for my birthday which I was pretty excited about cashing in this weekend as she does great mystery trips and it is always fun to go on adventures with my sister.
Overnight I stayed at my sister’s new place in Bristol that she shares with a friend, it’s another great place (you can see some of her previous flats here and here). We didn’t actually have the damson jam as we couldn’t open the jar (haha, feeble!) so we had honey instead. Then we headed out on the train to Bath which is only a short ride away.
These are the Roman Baths, it was especially interesting to see these having just been to Rome. My favourite fact was that the street level next to the baths is now 4 meters higher than it was in Roman times.
We had morning tea in the Pump Room, very civilised.
Bath seems a very good place for cute little shops and cafes. While Bristol seems to have more of an alternative edge, Bath has so many pretty streets. We ate at the River Cottage Canteen, really good kippers and chocolate brownies.
The Royal Cresent.
Thank you for the fun adventure Rose! :)
