Well, here's my selection for now.

👍🏼Canon ION RC251 which is crappy in how impractical it is. It needs its own 3 pin socket to start with.

Got as far as taking a few shots, but 2 disks full and can't view anything from either working copy.

Going to source fresh disks.

Just realised that the #shittycamerachallenge runs from December and not January, so I'm off to rummage in the basement. Am I going digital or analogue? Yes.

Out and about with a couple of favourites.

The Oly Pen has always impressed, and trying with some #velvia for a change.

The folder is an Agfa Billy Zero, which takes 8 shots on 127 #kodakgold

What would you plant in the spring?

The fruit tree is going in the corner on the left and a pot in the middle.

Faces SW and being coastal NW Wales, mild winters.

I'm growing climbers from inside the garden and only 30cm of soil & next to bins.

It's nearly December and the garden's still showing some life. More surprisingly as this was a mix of concrete, gravel and fake grass in August. It's all going bit by bit!
