If you haven't got Ed a 'toyboy' badge ordered yet I might offer him mine, for a price. I reckon it's worth over £1000 at least. Should I? Grannymar, it was good to meet up again.

You can teach them to blog in return for camera tips! @Darlene - I do need to add some sugar to sweeten me up. @Magpie - Yeuk & yeuker! I love those words and am going to steal them. @Baino - At the end of the day suggest meeting up with a couple of people from the course. You can teach them to blog in return for camera tips!

Loved her travels in Switzerland. I so wish we had this photowalk thing going on. I've booked into a one day workshop in June where we wonder around the city and learn how to use the tricky knobby bits on our cameras so who knows, I might learn a thing or two!

There are some wonderful coffees from India....some wonderful beans from a plantation in Sunticoppa.....called Bibi! And monsooned coffee is a treat Mmm! Sorry GM we'll have to get someone else to drink the tea...... as well as the Indian coffees I enjoy Javan/Sumatran...oh let's face it I love coffee...except that stuff that passes for espresso in a lot of places.

The coffee that I like best is made from seeds grown in Mysore in South India, hand roasted in a rotating drum, freshly for every charge, hand ground in a gadget that has a rotating handle and is fixed to the edge of a table or the kitchen platform. The freshly ground, still warm powder is then poured into the top half of a filter with tiny holes. Hot water is poured over the powder and the decoction is added to hot milk given a good dose of sugar, mixed and drunk for total bliss. I like coffee too.
