It's a lovely little backwater there.

Gotta say, the series on BBC 2 'Highland Cops' is well worth a watch for lovers of 'The Highlands' for the scenery alone. Last weeks episode was superb in that respect.
Catch up available on i'Player.

The problem I have posting any pics on my phone on Twitter is that if I post more than 2 pics, it comes up 'Post failed'...
No problem on laptop.

๐Ÿ‘I'll investigate further, they are saved as well to Google cloud and iCloud. In the past it used to be ok, sometimes taking a couple of attempts. It's only in the last few days that the current problem has arisen.

HELP!!!
In the last few days, I've had a problem, after selecting past pics on my mobile, then clicking onto send to Blue-sky, the pics download but all I get is the current Blue-sky timeline, the pics seem to vanish into cyberspace, any ideas?

Thinking about the 'Windrush Generation' in the UK, who must be worried about friends and family in Jamaica as 'Hurricane Melissa' makes landfall. ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ™

Today's weather, gusty, as seen from my cell window (aka my study window).๐Ÿ™„๐Ÿคช๐Ÿ˜
Following 'Storm Amy' and today's winds, most of the trees will have lost their leaves before they realise their usual glorious autumnal display.

No sorry, I'm 80 in December, born in 1945. So I'd leave school in 1963, quite a big age gap at the time.

Ben Vrackie, ( Corbett) above Pitlochry is a fine walk.
On a clear day, from the summit you can see the Glencoe and Lochaber hills, and to the north the Cairngorms.
I was up there on a fabulous, snow covered day in 2023.
No digi pics but I've got 2 A4 photos from that fabulous day.
