It's been a while.
Apparently, this is my 200th blog post. Since we last spoke, I've spent the first summer of my life not having a long summer holiday, learnt to crochet, started making bramble wine, and been to Berlin, where I started learning to speak German.
There are more photos on Facebook if you haven't already seen them. I took some with the real camera too, but they're still at Boots being developed and printed. Watch this space.
It might be the last time I take the real camera on holiday; if I do take it again I'll have to buy a new lens-cap, as the old one is at the bottom of a pond in Paris. But I've just about made up my mind to buy a digital SLR, all that remains to be done is to decide which one, and withdraw the money from savings where it's earning mongoose all interest anyway.
I also went camping with Alistair. We didn't go last year as he was living it up in the Caribbean last summer, and I was still teaching so my holiday had to be taken in August, but with no such constraints this year, we went to Derbyshire and enjoyed boiling a kettle on a Primus stove, going to bed at eight o'clock when it got dark, and wrapping ourselves in lots of blankets to try to stave off the cold. Fun though sleeping in a tent is, it's nice to be back home and sleeping just a few metres from the bathroom!

Ditto for bathroom distance!
Bathroom distance is something I'd hitherto not previously considered when planning a camping trip. Us blokes have it easy, though. The world is our urinal. :)
