Lovely pictures, Issariya- definitely capturing mood and atmosphere. The stills allow the memory to recreate the moving film reel of the history. One advantage of the instant smart phone though, the capturing of voices. I'd love to have my children's sweet sounds on record, lisping out new words when they were forging language; I enjoy my grandchildren's squeaks so much! We do have the French oral GCSE tapes- Je me couche....😻! So happy to see you both so relaxed, too.

Thanks Claire! Completely agree about the benefits of smartphones – nothing captures someone's essence quite like a voice recording or video, and phones give us the ease of collecting those moments. Far less faffy than film, as Nathaniel can attest to (being a very patient subject!)
