However he forgot about the post box and she posted an S O S (Save Our Sheila) did I not mention she was Australian. Unfortuneatly the bloody postal workers were on strike again and by the time her letter got home she'd set off on foot to Kirriemuir for some of their finest and was never heard of again.Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15748844080998587289noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6097513846217346447.post-1338753638499027072009-08-09T20:30:43.629+01:002009-08-09T20:30:43.629+01:00Getting clearer Neil... but what is Kirriemuir'...Getting clearer Neil... but what is Kirriemuir's finest baked ginger delicacy?ms toast burnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01814575117201965403noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6097513846217346447.post-5041845889980300242009-08-09T19:29:02.938+01:002009-08-09T19:29:02.938+01:00It's always something that prevents us from ge...It's always something that prevents us from getting connected, especially if you are a tourist.

The old days of Post and Telegraph are long gone. I wonder, if this phone accepted coins, would you have the two large pennies readily to hand? Love the old electricity pole as well.<br />I wonder what Laird of the Glen built his strong-hold here, with beaautiful stone wall and a view down the glen.
