Hi Geoff. Nice to hear from you, Still coping and doing o.k. Hope that you and your family are all keeping well. Looking forward to seeing some more of your travels on video. Always good. All the best. Mike.

Hi again Mike. It's good to know you are coping, I do hope you have a lot of good things in life to occupy you. Always nice to hear from you, as you were one of the original regulars on KZbin, and there weren't too many. Since moving my internet has been dreadful compared to my previous address, this internet has been giving me speeds of 3 .5 download and only a third of a met upload, which is almost impossible to upload any sort of hd for a decent period of time. I've been having to travel to my brother's home where I can upload some of my work, but I don't like to bother him too much. This last week, I've come across a wireless converter that converts the signal into internet, it now gives me speeds of 35 average download and 25 upload, more than enough, so I've been gradually uploading over the last few days in 4k which is amazing. I have been recently uploading bits and pieces, some silly stuff with special effects, UFO sightings, flying car etc. Also been working on a programme application called coaster Tycoon and using it to completing a virtual Disneyland Park. I have so much archived in my hard drives, it will be great working on all that soon. Last year I visited Florida again and had taken extreme amounts of footage which is waiting to be edited. It's been an odd time since all this lockdown, I guess it has for yourself as well. Work has been almost non existent, and I'm looking forward to getting back once things improve, hopefully soon. I haven't been bored though, I've had so much to work in, not only with computer, but also with all those jobs that needed to be done around the home etc. Anyhow, do keep in touch and look forward to seeing your comments on my channel. Kindest regards as always Mike. Geoff

Hi Geoff, Good to hear from you. I have severe nerve damage in my legs so I mainly go short journeys on my mobility scooter. Apart from that I am in pretty good health for my 85 years of a very enjoyable life. Sadly my wife died a year ago after 25 years of a very happy mariage. I still drive and recently passed an older persons driving test with top marks. I think you know that I have over a hundred films on youtube. I think that only a few of the later ones are reasonable. I have decided not to travel abroad anymore so I do not think that I will be filming anymore. I have enjoyed all of your uploaded films, maybe more will be forthcoming. All the very best. Regards, Mike.

It's always good to hear from you Mike. I did wonder how things were with you recently. I am so sorry about your wife, Sarah lost her mum back in 2013, her Dad is still about at 92 years old and miraculously pretty active in his garden and growing plants and flowers for people. Sorry too about the nerve damage. I remember you saying something about that a while ago. I'm pleased for you with the driving test and having top marks, cars are a great asset as well as personal freedom. Maybe you might some day make some films but closer to home, I also enjoyed your uploads old and new ones. I guess that the travelling can take it out of you, especially going abroad. I slowed down and virtually came to a stop with you-tube uploads due to having to move, its actually a lot nicer than where I was but the internet is not very good, and virtually impossible to upload in 4K, where as where I used to live I was able to get fibre optic, which isn't available here. I have just re-started uploading over the last week or two, some of them in just HD, but they seem to have turned out ok. I have just done a spoof of my flying my car. How are you managing during all this lock-down Mike, I do hope you are able to see people one way or another, this is a very odd thing happening now at this point in time, I look forward to some sort of normality again. Take care Mike, lovely to hear from you. Stay safe, and keep in touch. Kindest Regards. Geoff.

Hi Geoff, Just another month and I will be going on my holiday to Croatia. I am keeping reasonably well and still getting around. Hope that you are in good health and taking pictures and video when the weather permits. Very good to keep in touch. Best wishes. Mike.

Will look forward to maybe seeing some shots of your trip, sounds real exciting. Take care and regards. Geoff

Cheers Geoff.

Cheers Geoff.

I use ProShow Producer for many of my uploads together with Cyberlink PowerDirector . Regards, Mike.

Thanks.

Cheers Bob.....Regards....Mike.

The nerve damage in my legs has made it necessary for me to have a mobility scooter, which I enjoy using for being out and about on the fine days. Will keep taking video and pictures for as long as I can. Regards, Mike.

Oh dear! I had no idea you had nerve damage Mike. Always nice to see your movies. Sorry that your legs are giving you pain, my Sarah suffers with a lot of that, very difficult to walk longer distances nowadays. Well the mobility scooter has been used well with the camera, makes some interesting shots, smooth as well, I did wonder how you managed to move quickly. Kindest regards .Geoff

Cheers Geoff.

Some of the video was taken whilst moving about on my mobility scooter. It treks along at 8mph at top speed which gets me around the area quite quickly on fine days. Still love the car though for the longer distances. Getting more settled. Cheers, Mike.

This came with version 1.4.8-s and I found it to be so good with video and also the sound that I did not feel it necessary to update. FOV 140...WDR-On...Gyro sensor..On...Vokume..9...OSD Mode..On...Video File Format..MP4...Bit Rate..High...Image Size..12M...Quality..Fine...Sharpness..Strong...Contrast,,High...Noise Reduction..High...White Balance..Auto...Color..Normal...ISO..Auto...EV..-1/3..Distortion Correction..On...Frequency..60Hz...........The whole lot that has worked for me. Regards, Mike.

Cheers Andy.

Cheers, Geoff. Nothing new until mid May when I go to various places in France and Italy. Looking forward to it.

Sounds good Mike. Looking forward to seeing your filming when you visit. Geoff

Cheers Dave.

Cheers Andre.

Thanks Geoff. Regards, Mike.

Hi Geoff. The parish of Trefonen originally formed part of the Welsh Diocese of St Asaph. However, following the disestablishment of the Anglican church in Wales in 1920, the parish was transferred to the English Diocese of Lichfield. Best wishes...Mike.

This is the slightly shorter version Bob, without the house name on the garage. Regards, Mike.

Ah yes I remember now Mike....thanks for the reminder...Best wishes...Bob

I do my best. Cheers, Bob.

Thanks Andy.

Cheers Bob.

Cheers Dave.
