I found myself wandering around Central near the Star Ferry Pier for some reason.

One of the nice things we like to do is wander around taking photos and then stop somewhere for a coffee. Here we stopped at Second Draft a pub / craft beer bar in Tai Hang.
Tai Hang is an area bordering Causeway Bay and Tin Hau and is supposed to be up and coming. It hasn’t really got going yet though as bars and restaurants seem to close as often as they open. Rents are to blame, obviously.
Emily was playing with the Hasselblad on this day as well.

I took this photo of my lovely Chu Chu using the 135mm. I don’t use it much and I took to England in the summer because I had an idea for a photo but I didn’t go to the location where I wanted to take the photo – boo.
This was taken in Clanfield Meadow. The little white flag is a boundary marker – we were watching my nephew play cricket.
Emily is holding the Olympus XA – she loves that little camera.

We spent another day doing nice things – this time we visited Uppark, an 18th Century English country house owned by the National Trust. Some later additions to the property were 2 pavilions, one of which now operates as a lovely cafe serving cream teas – there’s a huge lawn at the front overlooking the South Downs with some lovely views. Unfortunately is was a bit chilly and it started to rain so we couldn’t sit outside and enjoy the view from the lawn – next time.
