Our first date....with the new camera

No fishing...no golf.....equates to a newfound hobby for hubby....taking photos with his new toy....an Olympus E4-10.
I am afraid to touch it, I don't know how to use and refuse to read the instruction manual. Ever since I have been in a lab I hate reading any sort of instruction manual. Before you use any type of equiment in a laboratory, it is compulsory to read the instruction manual and the Standard Operating Procedure.....SOP. I have read SOPs to death and refuse to read one in order to take photos. I will stick to the easy to use small digital camera that does everything automatically.

We went to Highgate Cemetery, to be honest it was quite an average attraction BUT had a lovely ambience. Hubby madly took photos, practicing with his new toy, whereas I spent alot of time reading all the plaques. I usually get spooked at cemeteries, but this place celebrated death in that it was a time when you go home to Jesus. Some of what was written on the plaques were really touching. There was one woman whom her husband buried and on the plaque he wrote: "my dear wife, whom Jesus called to meet, and we will be together once again in our homeland far away". It was so touching, I took a photo of the plaque, but being so old most from the 18th century, alot of the writing had faded. There were lots of monuments of the Cross, angels and statues of the people that died. This place made me think about death, how we as Christians seem to be better prepared for it, knowing that once again we will be reunited with our loved ones and our Saviour eternally. It makes me think once again how I have to pray and hope that my loved ones that are not Christian need to be saved so they too may be with us in eternal life.

Next stop: Marble Arch. Another average attraction, it was the original gateway to the first Buckingham Palace. Not that interesting but oppa took advantage and took lots of photos. On our way home we stopped by our park to visit our friends. Our furry friends, little squirrel and the many dogs we see everyday.....we have made friends in London...:)
