Well I told Mrs G. about this thread and she's touched by all the concern shown
Anyway, the main reason option 4 was there was because of Rogers garden bird pictures the other day, a timely reminder that you don't need to go any further than the back garden to get great shots.
Lathkill Dale is a good shout too Jeff, but think I might wait for the Spring flowers too.
So, my task for Saturday is to get a serviceable shot of the Redpolls in my garden, before pampering Mrs G. Might just go after the hares on Sunday, if Saturday is successful though...
