I'm almost tempted to regress 55 years and start collecting stamps again Maggi. Floral ones, obviously. That's a beauty.

If you could collect a few of the scarce ones for me please, Lesley ... ?   

I don't think she meant she'd travel back in time, Cliff!
cheers

Doh!!!

If only I could, and knowing all the things I've learnt in the meantime about the plants I've lost, maybe I wouldn't make so many mistakes. BUt I suppose there would be a whole new set of pitfalls.

Do you collect stamps Cliff?

Like you Lesley, I used to collect stamps many moons ago.  I have retained my collection for my grandchildren but have no real idea of what I have got or what they may be worth.  I haven't opened any of the albums for at least thirty years. 

[Anthony Darby]

I only kept my Victorian line engraved stamps. I have a couple of Penny Blacks, a few 2d Blues (alas, only one 1840 version) and a hundred or so Penny Reds.

Quite a nice wee retirement fund Anthony.

[Anthony Darby]

I wish. Even in perfect nick they wouldn't top £1000 for the lot!

So glad you are outside Loch Lomond. Inside the loch would be even more damp than it is here in Dunblane today. I checked the forecast. Yesterday I could see the hills, so it was going to rain. Today I can't see the hills so it is already raining. Forecast was spot on! I put the kids 10' paddling pool up earlier in the week. It remains unused! Lucy has checked the forecast for Ripon next week. I think the rain will follow us down. When my ship comes in I'll be at the airport!

Probably too late now but you are in easy travelling distance from Geilston Gardens next to Cardross and the Hill House in Helensburgh - both NTFS properties.  The Hill House is open in the afternoon.  If you want shopping, there is Lomond Shores with a Jenners shop on site.  This is just back along the main road to Balloch.
