hi, not been on line for a few weeks, a certain phone company completely messed up connecting our phone line and internet, were still waiting!!!!!! we have had to purchase dongles just to get us on line,
the move went really well, horses are settled, happy and chilled. the hens love there new patch(the back garden) and dogs have claimed there places in the house, i.e favorite chairs, or settee by favorite windows. and me and alan are living our dream, its amazing, incredible.
i have been busy sorting the land for the horses, and fencing, trying to get as much done as poss before winter kicks in, its a good way to diet and get fit, and gosh im sleeping well.
thanks for all your advice and support, missed you lot :wave:

I'll be in Buckie for a job interview on Monday 8th November - now that would be funny if two people from here ended up living just down the road from each other! :D

Ermmmm, more years than i care to remember Faith :D :D :D
My old man was working up that way & was a crewman on the lifeboat for a while.
Can also remember the "Grace Paterson Ritchie" lifeboat on sea trials after a major refit. I'm sure she was the first steel hulled lifeboat in the country at that time.
Jeez, that takes me back ::)

found this daveravey
this is what has happened to "grace paterson ritchie"
I bought this boat in reykjavik in 2002, renamed it "grace ritchie" and brought it back to the clyde where I am trying to restore it to its former glory after 14 years of hard use in iceland. It is now berthed at Largs marina. I hope to be able to return to Kirkwall with it some time soon.
The Arun that replaced it as the Reykjavik lifeboat was the ex-Lerwick boat "soldian".

Well, landed the job but again, had to turn it down :( The pay wasn't enough for what they wanted, and certainly wouldn't let us move and buy a smallholding, so it's back to the job hunting and interview circuit again. Very :(

oh dear that is a shame, good luck with your hunt :wave:
