Using this 1 to get back a trashed SD card, that hopefully has lots more pictures of the boy and his cousins. Granny and Grandpa had all of their grandchildren in one place, a very rare occurrence (as two of them live in the USA) and I didn't get any good pictures. Dean, the official photographer of the day took loads, but then his camera went in to meltdown and now the SD card is not recognised... I tried a demo version of some pay for software and it found 160 pictures, but I'm glad to have found some free software 1 that will hopefully recover all the images... As to whether there is one decent image where all the kids are looking is another matter.

I managed to get one picture of the boy more or less standing still:
