Hmmm … 

Looks like I can do that … 

Sorry, I’ve been playing with my new phone, again … !

Turns out I can take photos: which you possibly guessed, hadn’t you … ?

These day’s, that’s a given.

But the camera on it?   Is one of those that can take panoramic photos.

Like the one I took, on Crown Street: just behind Brentwood High Street.

Hmm … 

Nice to have, I think.

Although how much use it is to me?

Well, only time will tell …
