Got a new lens
I finally decided on a lens after weeks of thinking it over 
A Canon EF-S 60mm f/2.8 USM Macro Lens
I managed to borrow a 70 or 75 to 300mm lens (can't remember exactly what it was) for a few days last week but found for the things I take photos of it was not really needed at the moment. So I have gone a little over budget but as my OH says the money I was given to buy the camera and lenses was a gift so I should not feel guilty about spending it
I tried it out yesterday with Star I get the feeling this lens will stay on the camera most of the time. I only wish I got it sooner but as usual household problems got in the way.

Thanks
I have to thank my FIL as when he retired he gave us some money to spend as we pleased. So now I have my camera and lens and I am very happy

From what I gather, the 60 is perfect for nice portrait shots, giving you some nice bokeh effects.
Nice shot of Star btw
