French road trip to Champagne and Burgundy

In March 2010 we took the new Vauxhall Insignia on a mini French tour to buy Champagne and wine for our wedding later that year. It did not have satnav but reading maps is so much more fun. 
The stay started with three nights at Chateau D'Étoges. 

When we arrived, having booked direct on the internet, the drive was packed with Lamborghinis and Ferraris and we thought perhaps the web price was wrong. Geraldine might have been reading the map here after too much wine sampling!

Blogging a Pic from Photo.net

A user of photo.net named Len Marriot said he'd be delighted if someone blogged one of his photos so here is: "Students at the Leica School", rather a nice b/w silouhette image.
He says on photo.net he took the picture in November 1963 so now it is getting the publicity it deserves!

Olympus E-P2

The Olympus E-P2 is the second Micro Four Thirds camera from Olympus, following last Summer’s launch of the popular E-P1 model. Offering DSLR-like image quality in an ultra-compact format, the E-P2 adds a number of features to tempt you to upgrade from the E-P1. These include a dedicated port for either a detachable high-resolution electronic viewfinder or a microphone, auto-focus tracking mode, two new Art Filters (Diorama and Cross Process), a colour-boosting i-Enhance function, remote slideshow control via the new HDMI connection, and an option to record high-definition movies using the Manual shooting mode. The Olympus E-P2 is also finished in a more serious black rather than the silver or white versions of the E-P1.

Global Warming

In Peebles the temperature has been around zero or less since December 17th 2009 and the snow has lain thickly.

This icicle picture was taken on January 3rd 2010 at Coylumbridge in the Cairngorm National Park, which has also seen some exceptionally low temperatures and snow lying for nearly 3 weeks.

This is from about the time of the Copenhagen Climate Conference.

I'd like to know how the ecologists and climate changers are going to fit the present weather conditions to their cosy ozone hole theories?
