Navy Days

Today is the beginning of Navy Days and as such is proving very noisy, but spectacular. We've had jets screaming overhead, doing loop-the-loops and flying upside down and helicopters doing similar stunts.

Our normally quiet village is uncharacteristically loud, for not only do we have the Navy doing their displays but the neighbours are replacing their garage roof, while our landlady has sent the gardener to cut hedges and chop things about. Not to mention S, her best friend and T playing raucously upstairs like small elephants thundering.

It's great though, I'm enjoying looking at the aircraft and it's so much more exciting seeing it all through the children's eyes. Although T cried when the jet was particularly loud overhead, poor little scrap.

I've tried to take a few pictures, but my camera isn't up to much, I need zoom ability and all that sort of technological doodah. My point-and-click type digital camera is perfectly adequate for family snapshots, but nothing more. It'd be nice to upgrade sometime.
