The ponies looked wonderful, and I loved the skyscapes in many of the photos with the magnificent Dartmoor landscape below :-) I also liked the post when a fellow blogger came to visit and I have often thought about meeting some of my own blogging friends but to be honest I think I would just be too shy to even consider it !<br /><br />Being a bit of a technophobe I have thus far resisted smartphones, ipads and all that malarkey but those that I have seen have been very impressive and perhaps I should consider entering the 21st century sooner or later.

He asked if I would like to visit when I was a child but the idea of going there alone (that was the deal) wasn't too appealing to am eight year old.

The Guardian raved about it and said they didn't know how they were doing it for the price. It runs on Android so links up with Blogger and G-mail. It's a joy. My mum bought it for me and it was about £139 with spec similar to an i-phone 5 and a quad core processor. Are you still with me!? I'm boring myself. They won't be this price for very long I imagine. Camera not great but it's still pretty good for taking pictures of a dmaged front wing of a Polo for example.
