Another bright, cold day and I have a new lens to play with - EF28-135mm f/3.5 -5.6 IS USM for those of you that know about these things. It is distinctly more fun to play with than the bog standard lens I have had up until now. I walked down to Cullercoats and then along Long Sands going to Tynemouth Market, stopping on route to sit and chat with Nancy, another regular on the beach. Nancy is 85 years old and has the busiest life of anyone I know. Most days she walks along Long Sands having caught the metro to Cullercoats and returning from Tynemouth, or often further.
