The problem with our cameras is that they take big photos, which limits the number of images on the average photo sharing site, without upgrading which involves the use of a credit card. The good thing about our cameras is that they come with photo sharing software. I obviously don’t need this for you lot – I just upload photos onto the Oakstump, but since there is no equivalent for Scraggy Crows I have used this to share photos from croquet.
It wasn’t easy of course – I’d forgotten the password, but Canon kindly mailed it to me, since they had my address registered on their database. I logged on to the Canon site using my password that Canon had just mailed to me, and entering my e-mail address, that they had just used and Canon promptly assured me that this e-mail address, that they had just used, didn’t exist. I somehow got around this, although unfortunately I can’t remember what I did, and so the problem will recur.
To make life easier Canon offered an option that no password is required to see the photos, but I wasn’t actually allowed to select this option. Instead I had to make up a secret password, which Canon then included in their e-mail that was sent from the site to all whom I wished to view the photos.
Of course I had to add each e-mail address separately onto the site, but before I pressed “send” I had a phone call, and the bloody Canon site timed out before I sent the “invitation” and I had to start all over again.
Thank goodness there is the Oakstump for family photos.
Yours grumpily (I worked last night ) Neil.


Technically we live in Oaktree House, but sadly the tree had to go.
We now have a thriving Oakstump at the front of the house.
