Forgotten Film...

Way back in April 2010 we went on a long weekend away with our parents (both sets, they get on, its awesome) and on the way back, we stopped at Castle Howard which I blogged about at the time. However I completely forgot that as well as taking my fuji instax mini, we also took my Dad's Olympus OM-10 and we never finished the roll... and then, we completely forgot that it was still in the camera. For well over a year... disaster.

However, I accidently finished it over the weekend (playing with the camera, like you do) and here are the photos from that lovely day at Castle Howard... though neither Thomas or I can actually remember who took the photos.

{I remember taking the photo on the right, how beautiful is the light! Shame I still haven't figured out the shutter speeds lol}

Aren't the daffodils just amazing? I forgot how many that there were.

I always find the OM-10 quite intimidating compared to my little plastic cameras as there are so many settings but I always love the results from it. Perhaps we should use it more.

Castle Howard with tape!

You may have already seen these on Katrina's blog or the notebook doodles but I'm blogging about it anyway because I am just so excited. When I first put my photoswap post together I spent hours looking for free tape strips to use and now Katrina from Pugly Pixel has some on her blog!

As soon as I saw them I knew I had to use them somehow today, so here are the photos from Castle Howard which we visited on the way back from our holiday with some fun use of tape. Hurray!

The mansion was absolutely beautiful and I now really want to watch Brideshead Revisited after looking around the house that it was filmed in.
