Sunny morning + An old train station...

What a lovely, sunny morning to go into the nearby forest and test out our new camera!

A few days ago we purchased the Canon Eos700D. The only cameras we have are our phones and they're not the greatest of quality for holiday photos, family photos etc. And I say every year I'd like to be able to take more photos of our family adventures. 
Matt did say last year before our wedding that we'd buy a good quality camera to take on our honeymoon. That idea was forgotten about... although he did take some lovely one's on his phone, but just not the greatest of quality. I know a camera is just a camera but with another little baby brewing we decided to get a nice family camera. Especially for our trip to Paris coming up this week and for baba's arrival. 



I had a little fiddle with it and watched a few tutorials on you tube which did help to understand what all the functions do. There are so many buttons and things you can do to take a great picture... well compared to my iPhone 4 anyway.
So as this morning was such a sunny one. And fresh I must add, the 3 of us decided to go for a stroll through the forest.

Matt spent many days of his childhood in this forest. Building dens and walks with his family so it was lovely to reminisce. He also told me that there used to be a train station and some of the structures remained. The old railway is now a cycle path which leads to Bath.
We've been living in this house for over a year now and I can't believe we've never had a gander through the forest. And it's only 5 minutes away. We'll certainly be exploring more in the future.
Here are the pictures we took.
