Back again :)

[SharonH]

Been a long time since I was here, about 9 months I think. My depression always gets worse during the winter months but picks up when the weather gets warmer, unfortunately my fiancé (who has C.O.P.D.) has got a lot worse and I am now his full time carer.
The good news is that he has just paid for me to get membership for a year to Dartmoor Zoo as at the moment my r&r is my 2 night shifts at work lol, so hopefully I will go there as often as possible (aiming for once a week) and get some nice photo's

Welcome back SharonH, you're not the only one to be impacted by the winter months, I too struggle to get out and about during winter. This year has been especially difficult for me as our car was in for repairs for 9 weeks due to an accident, then about 2 weeks after getting the car back I was struck down with Covid. I am now clear of Covid but have a nasty lingering cough that I can't seem to shake.
That's enough misery from me, I hope things don't get any worse for your fiancé, hoping that you are able to make good use of your membership to the Dartmoor Zoo,

[SharonH]

Oh no, coughs are awful, I hope it goes soon.
Thank you :-)

Slowly getting better, I went to the doctor last Tuesday and I now have an inhaler which is helping.

Thank you :-)

Well I didn't manage to stick around too long did I My fiancé got a lot worse, photography went out of the window and I turned into his full time carer. Life got too difficult trying to look after Martin, work at my job and do housework etc by myself so I made the difficult decision to give up work. It's actually working out a lot better than I expected and I am hoping that I can get out taking photo
s again on the days he is alright I have taken a few macro ones but am struggling with it so expect questions soon lol

[Isac]

I'm glad you're back on track and coming to grips with your monumental challenges in looking after yourself and Martin. Give him our regards.
As with macro, it's definitely a genre all on its own and very challenging. Rewarding when it all goes well, I look forward to seeing your progress. Please ask as many questions as you like, we're all here to help.

Thank you
