SCANNING THROUGH SPAIN PORTUGAL AND SCOTLAND

Amazing journey through time and space as I continue with the high grade cine film scanning, it takes such a long time to get through a reel but the quality is way beyond anything we have achieved previously. The collection I'm digitising and identifying is from the 1960s and there are trips to Spain and Portugal taking in most of the trams and trolleybuses and any British make of bus which is particularly fascinating as there were some real gems on the Iberian peninsula in those days. For a bit of a break and fresh air we had a drive out to Derbyshire , we stopped in Bakewell only to find our favourite cafe at Thorntons has been sold, it was obvious from the moment we walked in, the atmosphere had changed, the produce meagre and poor and the attitude stank. Walked out!. As that was the main reason we visit I was actually glad that I'd gone into my favourite shoe shop as I did get a superb pair of light grey suede shoes , I usually manage to find something I like there, nice wide fitting, so comfy. It was a pass on the jewelers, they'd had a bumper Christmas and sold a lot of stock, can't be bad.

The scanning continues most of the time, I'm nearly half way through the loaned material and any time then left I will use to have a go at my own 400' reels, I haven't the energy to go back and start all over again on the reels I already copied in tele cine mode. It does however make so many things useable, I may even still have a go at the Llandudno Bus Spot Ultra , I'm toying with the idea also perhaps Wrexham. I've edited Chester, clip on Youtube. I've updated the PMP DVD list on our shop page. I've three covers to make for the latest DVDs. The planned trip to Cyprus for the potato harvest may just be a solo by myself as flights in May are mega expensive, I can get a good deal in late April and do an Easyjet for a short period and hire the cheapest small car. Talking of Cyprus lets have a look back to previous trips.
