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

Buckie?  Better get everything in for the winter then.  Mind you the Gulf Stream still goes around that area doesn't it?

[Rosemary]

Welcome back  Glad the move went well 

[Hilarysmum]

thanks everyone, buckie had a fair bit of snow last winter, what will be will be weather wise, least all the family is together, no more journeys to stable yards,

I used to go to Buckie on holiday when i was a bairn.

Glad everything went ok for you.

Sounds like BT doing what they do best

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! 

[faith0504]

hey good luck with the interview, let us know how you get on 


daveravey                we got a new tesco opening on monday, bet buckie gas changed since you were a bairn!!!!!!!!
how many years ago? 

[Daveravey]

Ermmmm, more years than i care to remember Faith   

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   

[faith0504]

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".

hey good luck with the interview, let us know how you get on  :wave

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
