Default Hello from the Cotswolds

Hi all.
I thought it was about time I introduced myself especially as I'm going on the Ilford factory tour after spotting details of the open day on this forum.
I've spent many years dabbling with photography but family and work commitments have always taken priority. Now that the kids have started moving on and I'm no longer in gainful employment I thought I could spend more time out and about with my camera.
A few years ago I bought a Pentax 67 which I enjoy using but is a bit of a beast. I've also rediscovered the joy of using my K1000 which I bought new in the early '80s (giving away my age here).
I've managed to acquire the corner of an ex-bedroom as a darkroom and making my first steps into printing (which, I'm sure will be a source of lots of questions).
Bye for now.
Vic
