A message from my darling Dad... Yay for SE23.com!
I visited my daughter just before Christmas and dropped my camera whilst loading my car the evening of our departure.
My faith in human nature has been restored thanks to the actions of Seamus46 and family who found the camera and kindly posted some basic details on your forum. My daughter provided them with details of the photos on the camera and was able to collect it and post it back to me.
Thank you so much to everyone involved for reuniting me with my camera and even more importantly the treasured photos of our visit.
