We are part of the "support bubble" for my daughter Claire, so it is OK to go in Claire and Matt's house
So i took the opportunity to get a photo with our Granddaughter Willow.
My wife shot this using my new "walkabout" lens, the Tamron 28-75mm f2.8 Di III RXD. It is a cracking lens.
I was having quite a discussion with Willow, we did Bolton Wanderers , cricket , principals, weather, bicycles, photography, manual focus lenses and neighbours (the people across the street, not the TV series)
As you can see, Willow was paying attention to my words. I even got a few smiles !!!

As you know I always like a mono portrait, I always look better in mono !
Willow looks quite fascinated by you....I expect she’s thinking this grandpa knows about everything! Glad you can visit as you like....good for Claire to have mum handy!
@beryl thanks beryl , she did listen to me , I think she thought "what on earth is he rambling on about " :)
@happypat thanks Pat, it is good being able to be a "support bubble" .... I have done some supporting ... when claire registered Willows birth she had to have a timed appointment at the registrars office in the centre of Nottingham... so I went with her and pushed the pram around the streets for 30 minutes, I also looked after Willow when Claire and Matt went to the bank to sort Willows account out :)
@newbank thanks newbank, you put us onto the "support bubbles" ...very much appreciated :)
@judithg ahh judith good shout about the football, although Matt and I have decided if Willow wants to go to the Football it will be her choice of Nottingham Forest or Notts County ... the latter might be similar to following Bolton :)
@darylo Daryl , thank you , I am very impressed with the lens, I found it by accident , I was searching for the Sony FE 85mm and the tamron came up in the search and I clicked and was amazed by the excellent reviews . I don't normally go for zooms as I prefer prime lenses
