Geoff - add Geordie to the list. That must be the hardest English dialect.
Very clever Paul. What next in history will you rewrite?
Albert Ross wrote:Anyway, here is my other video of a National Trust property at Christmas time. It's at Scotney Castle in Kent. Each room was inspired by famous books which the owner had in their library. "Alice in Wonderland", Agatha Christie novels and even "The Jungle Book", all featured. Hope you enjoy it... https://youtu.be/VTUEbI6yF8s
Thanks Albert. Some difficult lighting conditions inside. I wonder how long it takes to set it all up.
As for the jokes, probably best not to comment. They were somewhat corny!
Thanks Gordon
Looking at images on the net I can now see the difference. Skinks have similar bodies but also legs. Slow worms are just bodies as they are a worm.
Maybe you boys can put up with a short video that I made in lockdown ? We were very lucky where we live in the UK as we could walk out of our garden and not see another soul ! https://youtu.be/io7FzGHCX3Q
Thanks Gordon. Nature didn't just ignore lockdown, it enjoyed it. It was so quiet.
How did you manage to grab the skink, if that's what it was?

Gee Geoff you are observant. Took me awhile to work out what you were referring to.
Anyway here's something more greener than Spain - "Spring Saunters" https://youtu.be/gMcjt2Qdv74
Thanks Gordon. I cannot recall having seen it previously. Your walk that I remember is where you explored an old derelict building up in the hills.
"Many years" was a comparison to UK records which I assume go back much further.
Thanks Albert. I couldn't find Beauty nor the Beast. You probably caught them on a tea break!
Outside looked nice and cool. We are sweltering at the moment. I read somewhere it was our hottest November on record, but our records don't go back many years. I believe they started sometime in the 1800s.

Thanks Gordon and the same to you both.
Thanks Gordon. The absence of males, apart from one, on the dance floor is very noticeable!
Albert Ross wrote:It was good to see that one of the ladies taking pictures with her phone actually remembered to turn her phone into landscape mode, was that something you suggested?
No. Possibly she couldn't fit the picture in vertically!
Of course I was using a proper video camera. My 13 year old Canon shooting 1080 50i.
Something different as it's Christmas soon - Enchanted Christmas

Thanks Steve. A big "garden" to keep maintained. We saw a few workers which makes me wonder what size staff is involved.
You can install it on your Win 11 computer using your original disc or installation file.
BUT before you do export your unlocked codecs to a file to import onto your new pc as Serif no longer provide unlocking of codecs. In MVP go to Tools\Options\Advanced\Manage Unlock Codes\Export.
I'm assuming you have MVPX5 or X6? If not please advise your version.
Thanks Albert. From your opening shots I assume it was a long walk back uphill at the end?
Thanks Albert. They built things to last years ago. Well partially last anyway. I always wonder how long it took our ancestors to build castles such as Haglan. Fortunately UK rarely gets earthquakes and then only small ones otherwise all would be gone.
Albert Ross wrote:I am curious Eric, or maybe I am being a bit thick, but how did you manage to view "shouty" without clicking on the download option?
I just clicked on the link and the image opens in an Image Preview window. No download involved. I've checked my Download folder and it's definitely not there. At the bottom of the Image Preview is a Download option.
I'm using Firefox. Maybe other browsers handle it differently.
Actually Alfred I've looked at Shouty several times but never clicked on the Download option underneath bottom left.
I don't think it's Richard as he appears in the video with a still camera and has less and whiter hair? The gentleman in the still is carrying a video camera.
Thanks Albert. Is that you with Jill in Shouty.jpg?
As for the lady feeding it seems, after checking on the internet, that she was providing the right type of food. Whilst most folk chuck bread at swans, ducks etc it's not really good for them.
Thanks Gordon. I got worried that you might not cover up the nest but you did. Well done.
Thanks Albert. Black swans. Unusual in UK as yours are usually white. It's the other way around here. Black are common, white very rare. Black are usually Australian swans a Southern Hemisphere species.
Found it now https://punster.me/serif/viewtopic.php?id=612
And I still haven't noticed any mention of Affinity on the Canva website.
But Serif aren't Serif any more are they? I recall a post about them being taken over by an Aussie firm but I cannot find it.
