So Saturday 5th February saw the Dockyard reopen on time for the first time since 2020! And Tedster and I were there for the first day's opening, absolutely determined to be there having been denied the opportunity to visit as much as we'd normally do with all the various Covid-19 restrictions.
Both 2020 and 2021 saw the place close to the public for months on end, in 2020 it closed in April I believe and didn't reopen until July, 2021 didn't see it open until April instead of the usual February.
We had a sunny but windy and chilly day, packed the M50 and kit lens and test ran the new Sydney (Mia Tui) rucksack for the first time out in the field as it were. It was really good, place for everything and everything in it's place, from drinks bottle holders to pen slots and key fob clips. A few additional Mia Tui "cases" inside kept items safe and to hand when I needed them. I have several different sized, suede like drawstring bags to house my cameras in so one of those kept the M50 safe when it was in my bag. The baby flash and TG-6 (in case of inclement weather) completed the ensemble.
Was good to be back in our favourite place again and Tedster was recognised by some of the staff who have seen us wandering around on numerous past visits.
