I shall do my damdest to meet up with you this year Bill .... last year we didn't leave the 'gorms' cos of the weather .... the year before we set off for Nairn and then I got ill that day and ended up round Dulcie Bridge and the Findhorn having a kip on back seat and feeling rough - this time despite the snow - my health, Sheilas health - whatever - I'm determined to make it and see you so expect a phonecall!!!!!!!

Eh Bill I feel for you - when I had my overactive thyroid the visits before the op then the 7 weeks in hospital before being kicked out to wait a bit longer for the op cos it wasn't safe to operate on me at that time - they had to get it under control - then 3 weeks in for the op then frequent return visits - all at Liverpool 30+ miles away ...... it nearly drove me daft and took up a huge part of my life for a couple of years - so I sympathise. We are bringing Ian's mum with us and she has been rushed into Wigan hospital twice since xmas with heart trouble out of control - fingers crossed she willl be well enough and that we do not need to take her to Inverness hospital while we are on holiday!!! So yes we may meet you at the hospital yet - but I hope not!!!!!

I couldn't remember whether I had contacted you so came for a look and yes I had (and I complain about my mothers memory??!) A week on Sat we will be arriving in Nethy Bridge all being well ......... I haven't done a thing yet too get ready but my mechanic chappie is due this morn at 10am to service and MOT the old camper so fingers crossed. You prob have snow again I'm guessing from the forecasts but we have a severe frost and I will have to desfrost the car to move it so I can carefully get the camper in the middle of the drive ...... better get cracking - see you soon!!

I keep watching the forecast and evey time they show that north eastern coast around Nairn getting dumped on with snow I'm heard to say 'Big Bill is in for it again'! Did I say that we are headed your direction (Well Cairngorms) at the end of Feb beg of March - everything is booked but whether Ian's mum will be well enough is another matter ..... I still have your phone number in my mobile so will be in touch if we make it - with two weeks this time we should reach your area - I've been hearing a lot about Glen Strathfarrar and Spey Bay and think I've been missing something not visiting these?

Get you with your snow and Yellowhamers in the garden.My pics seem to be mainly of Robins to start off,they get within a few feet,very tempting.Probably most of my photos will be of tamish birds for a while. I'm ashamed to say that it will be off to feed the Mallards next;-),click ,click,if only I was joking .One rule though,no park pigeon pics,I have my standards.He he he.Cheers Jason.

I know how you feel Jason used to have days like that years ago whilst in the Army but not any longer cannot now any way due to medication that I am now on.
But it seems you had a good time thats the main thing ,flash guns are very sensative to hangovers :) get any good pics had a few surprises in the garden past few days Yellowhammers an Pied Wagtails still coming too ,well take care .
Cheers Bill

Yeh who would have thought that the shutter and the flash popping up could be so annoying this morning,a touch oversensitive today me.Still I've learnt my lesson and shall abstain this evening.Yeh right!Silly me:-)
