Today I spent the morning having a go at using an App on my phone to digitally scan some photos that I have on slide film. In the back of a wardrobe, there is a whole shoebox full of boxes of slides from my arctic expedition to Svalbard back in 1996 with the British Schools Exploring Society. The quality of the scans turned out pretty poor, the memories that the experience unearthed were priceless. Here are a few little gems for your viewing pleasure…

And in other news… Our daily exercise was a gentle one after yesterday’s work out. An evening stroll along the river.
And a beautiful moonrise as the sunset
