Since then they have been beautiful but not as stunning as that first display which filled the sky.<br /><br />I like the panoramic feature too - hope to play with it lots more too<br /><br />Oh dear - sorry you are having chilly temperatures. We were up to 13 yesterday but it was down to 9 today....and now with the gale who knows!Sianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15086990153239265950noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-496522256748038434.post-53468690624075222242013-04-16T21:38:36.147+01:002013-04-16T21:38:36.147+01:00We have a gale tonight!

I'm glad that for once you've had the best of the weather, but I fear you will be paying for it over the next few days.

I think your new "camera" is wonderful. Love the panorama feature.<br /><br />Orkney is at 59 degrees north and Nova Scotia is at 45 degrees north, and yet your temperatures are well above where we are now. Damn that gulf stream !<br /><br />Our high today is only two degrees. S'pozed to get up to 9 or so by mid-week.Sybilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13944601364218561984noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-496522256748038434.post-77619864639352030602013-04-14T09:36:34.209+01:002013-04-14T09:36:34.209+01:00You have had the best of the sun in the North and ...You have had the best of the sun in the North and West recently. Windy here today as well, but the wind has brought sudden warmer temperatures - startling after so long. <br />The picture quality is great for such a small gadget.Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11269887100694066103noreply@blogger.com
