Toy Museum

Wonderful collection of Toys in this Museum on Tynemouth front. The owner was there to chat to and has been collecting toys into this museum for 20 years. Gave me a chance for a lot of nostalgia - even found some Bayko - my favourite toy as a kid.

Black Country Portraits

I used my free return ticket to the Black Country Museum today and the weather was very similar to our last visit in November - very cold, windy and wet. I used the Shift and Tilt lens, which meant a very slow rate of working as I find the most reliable way is to put the camera on live view and focus using the magnifier.
