On waiting almost two years to visit this fine site, I eagerly took photos as it was such a sunny still day with few visitors .My Hubby always takes his digital camera to back up my old wind on , but imagine my disapointment to find on my return home ....I had no film in my camera and his 'back up' for some unknown reason had failed !! Ah well lovely to see what a splendid photo you have here Paul thank you x
