Simply click on the image below to start the video that may interest you. Please note that all my video images are now imbeded from my YouTube account which means they should run a little more quickly with a bit more quality (and free up some of my server space !). However, download speed will depend on the speed of your internet connection. Please enjoy! :-)
I make my apologies here and now for quality, trips and stumbles, unwanted voices and noises due to operator issues! I'm still learning about this moving picture thingy and have just recently got a real video camera! So the more recent Vids should be an improvement on the earlier ones! Hope you enjoy them all anyway. More vids to be added over time when I make the effort to get out and take some more! :-)
