11th January, wheelie nice

I was going to tittivate the picture of the evil wheelie bins lying in wait under the arch for the beetle.
But I am too lazy, and thought I'd better stick this one up quickly before everything crashes again.
I spent the day in Forres, the Berlingo was due a service and so I took it to the main dealer as it is still under warranty.
A drive of over sixty miles each way.
There is a main dealer in Aberdeen, much nearer,
but I prefer to drive all the way to the one in Forres.
I leave you to draw your own conclusions!
Well I had a lovely day in Forres, everybody seemed really friendly and chatty.
And there were a lot of spritely elderly(ish) people out and about.
It was mild and sunny, whereas gales and strong winds were forecast.
As I left though, it became windy very quickly, the skies darkened and it began to pour down.
I went before the wheelie bins went on the attack.

All of today's shots are very nice. Hope you have not been affected by last night's storms.

I like this and would love to be standing right where that gent is. Beautiful composition. love the hilly terrain of this village, probably because my area is so flat.

As a spritely elderly(ish) person, I have to say.... what the hell is a wheelie bin???

Wheelie bins are not the prettiest, but ignoring their presence this is a really nice photo. I hate to think what life will be like once the spritely, chatty, please & thankyou generation die out...there are not so many to replace them these days.

Those bins are prone to attack old ladies trying to walk along the narrow pavements in North Berwick. Looks like a nice place there...

looks like you had a nice day! :-)

These are some "weally" nice pictures. Is PBase acting up again, or is it must me? My "Last Person on Earth" picture from yesterday has disappeared, just as well.
