The kids and I decided on our usual half term pilgrimage to London this past October.

This was supposed to be the start of a new project, that I have had to defer. It's gone a little mental at work and also the house renovation

Developed a couple of rolls of #Kodakgold200 with @takeiteasylab

Saturday people. 

Not had much luck with the film camera collection, moving house, dinks and dents aplenty.

I love this film.  Have 8 x rolls incoming today, ready for the weekend.

Love this film as I do the 124g.
Headed up to the dunes of Camber Beach at the weekend, as I'm thinking of starting a new photo project.
