    Special treat

    Daughter has treated me and the gaffer to a Land Rover safari tour into the hills around Rannoch Moor, really looking forward to that, should offer some good photographic opportunities.

    Now that really does sound like a special treat.

      I would very much look forward to that. The only presents I get are socks!

          Cheers guys, have to go before the end of May, so once recovered from my op and out and about I will give them a call and see what's about, interesting they go out at five in the evening, so the light may not be the best.

            As mid-May is only a month short of the longest day that's probably the time to go for as the days have lengthened considerably by then.

              Well this turned out to be a bit of a con man, he got a voucher company to take bookings, but then not honouring them, luckily we are getting our money back, Highland Exploration, beware of them, the voucher company have a lot of problems with them and no longer sell tickets for them.

                  Shame as it was just the sort of trip I would enjoy, we are planning a boat trip to either Bass Rock or the Isle of May instead now and pay when we get there lol.

                      Strange that Colin, my favourite Niece has previously sent me personalised socks! All the way from New Jersey. The postman left a card advising me that there was a parcel they couldn’t deliver as it had some outstanding fees to be paid.
                      I did go and collect the parcel and paid the fees without knowing what was in the parcel. It was an expensive way for me to remember my own name by looking at a sock[emoji23]
                      It transpired that favourite Niece had been charged for all taxes and deliveries by the supplier. Needless to say I don’t get presents from the USA anymore.

                        Well, I was looking forward to seeing the images from your jeep safari. Then I caught up with the previous posts.
                        I don’t know how people who sell goods/services in that sort manner sleep at night.

                          Were the socks marked with an L and an R to help you Peter?

                            Sadly not John, they have my initials on the cuffs and my full name across the toe area. They could come in handy if the local constabulary find me in a collapsed state somewhere [emoji23]
