I wish I could get back here to do a few more and larger size – shall have to find an equivalent subject nearer here, and one needs the sunlight to cast strong shadows of course. Have a great holiday and I’ll look forward to those pictures of yours.<br /><br />Paul, thanks for visiting. You’ll have to quiz Valerie about the usefulness of the umbrella, I've never used one though it was pretty essential in that light and heat. It felt like I needed one up there so will probably get one soon. but if you manage with an old one as you describe that is pretty OK and enterprising. Better put it on your wish list.ANDREW TAYLORhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11047691483333134989noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31364849.post-90984965073343544172011-07-07T23:40:18.723+01:002011-07-07T23:40:18.723+01:00It looks like you had a great day.

If I lived closer I'd definitely join you on the society meets.<br />I think you're right about the shade umbrella; I can't manage without my cheapo golf umbrella when it's sunny. It's really battered now from being blown inside out repeatedly. I don't know if I want to spend the money on an expensive one like Valeries given the treatment it's going to get. I strap mine to a pointed stick which I push into the ground. It works reasonably well unless on stoney ground. Do you think the Julian one's worth the money?
