I’m just back from visiting my daughter in Liverpool. Took a camera with me but not one shot was wasted…horrible weather, poor light and lots of Dad jobs to blame!

So the shot was taken at a end-of-summer fair in Faro, southern Portugal, towards the end of October. My wife had a 'significant birthday' last year - I'd promised her a trip away, and this was it. We had a very pleasant few days eating and drinking our way around the town and just happened to catch the Feira de Santa Iría whilst there. It was pretty darn good, with everyone in high spirits - lots of fairground rides (like the one above) and food stalls. The fair started over 400 years ago, apparently, and lasts for 9 days. In other words, a great big party - a great big long party. And why not, eh?
I have to say we do like Portugal - the weather, the food and the people. And a big plus, we could fly direct from Belfast. Perfect.
I got a box of new-to-me paper just before Christmas - Fomabrom 112 fibre, matt finish. I had read it is lith-able, so I thought I'd dive straight in and see what happens when it is dunked in some Moersch Easylith developer at around 30 degrees. This happened:
