Lossie is a "Closed shop",they get loads of visitors,but none of the locals post on here,so who knows ?

I post here - quite a lot - please don't tar us all with the same brush Crying

Aur - the Short Sherpa carries the mail out late every night and returns before I get up in the morning (06:30) then it sits all day looking like it's u/s.

Sorry Al,I think that I worded my reply a bit harshly,but you must admit that Lossie and Kinloss never seem to have any movements posted to FC by the locals.Why ? What's the problem ?

Al is right with it departing early morning, it's usually between 6.30 and 7AM, it is usually at Kinloss but as it is on bolthole it's 'stationed' here for the moment.
It usually departs about 6.30 and 7PM.

No probs Mike Cheers

Well I'm not sure what the problem is but I freely admit I'm not a numbers man Roll Eyes and unless I've taken a pic then I'm unlikely to post - unless you want to see the same 4 x Tonkas every week. The other main thing is that there are so few visitors these days which drives enthusiasts away or certainly doesn't encourage them to go down to the fence as often as they could.

I'll try my best for you though Thumbs Up

Recovered, yes - fully, no. It's going to be another year yet before the bod settles down and I know how much feeling/sensation I'll be left with. I go to physio twice a week as the bones/muscles in my neck and back are fairly stiff from being held in the same place for three months. I have good days and bad days - on both of these occasions I'm able to use the camera and family life is just about as normal as I would want it to be. I've had a 'lucky' break so to speak - I can't complain as there are others far worse off than I am.

Right, I'm off out to take some piccies for work - Duffus, then 05 followed by Cullen. I should make it back to VASS by lunchtime Thumbs Up
