My parenting is much like my photography – around 30pc of the time it works out OK

Around 20 years ago, I bought my first digital camera. I was never that interested in photography but with my first child only being a toddler, I thought I would get on board with the best technology money could buy to capture all the special moments that life was about to offer me.

Sadly, the best quality photographic technology that my money could buy at the time offered me image quality equivalent to that of an Etch A Sketch. It was the early Noughties and digital cameras were either very expensive or very bad, and I ended up with the latter.
