In this first bumper episode of 2021, I head out with my beloved pinhole camera to see if I can capture some of the lightening I had in Scotland. Will I manage to get some of the lingering autumn colour? Or will the curse of 2020 leave me wanting?

In this, the final episode of 2020, I summarise and reflect, then set myself some challenges for the future of the show. I also attempt to make use of the cured Isolette.
