The site is very quiet for a weekend probably due to it been adult only yes I know, how did I get on ? I lied about my age He He.

Bus into town this morning caught the 44K glad I had booked a few days as it seemed to go via Fort William Brighton St Ives and round every village in the area (except Tiddlywink). A good walkabout checking for changes then caught the direct bus back the 99.

Bus into town again its lovely to see the tree is as lovely as it usually is.
