Shops, Cameras and Birds

I had a few bits and pieces to get this morning. I got to Tesco before 6:30 at there was still lots of people there!! Anyway my parents will moan about the loarge bars of chocolate and then appear every so often with pieces ;)

I then popped in Bishops Stortford. There was a camera shop and I wanted to hold some of those 12x bridge cameras. They never had the Canon S3IS but did have the Panasonic FZ50. Felt like a "proper" read dSLR camera. The chap asked me if I had seen it elsewhere when I asked him the price. He had quoted £450 and whipped the camera out of my hand when I quoted him £350!! I'd have liked to feel the FZ7 but decided he wasn't impressed. I didn't like to tell him that I could get the camera, case, spare battery, usb reader and 2gb card and STILL have change. I'm tempted.

So I headed to Hatfield Forest. Enjoyable stroll pity about the dog walkers who don't understand that keep dogs on lead in lake area refers to them!! Stopped for a cup of tea and a healthy breakfast :)
