A second heartfelt plea to FirstBus

Dear FirstBus,

If you really must persevere with this eccentric pricing system whereby a single ticket is almost exactly the same price as a return, couldn't you just give everyone a return ticket automatically?  That way it wouldn't be quite so costly when the driver mishears me, even when I practically scream "RETURN to Glasgow, please".

That's yet another £5 pointlessly down the drain.

Photos on Tuesday : Arbroath

Welcome along to the second of my pre-scheduled posts, designed to keep things ticking over while I'm off on my travels.  I have a feeling this particular set of photos will look somewhat less than exotic to Tris, Munguin and Marcia, but Arbroath is quite a trek from my own neck of the woods!  They were taken in early August.  I had been to the abbey and cliffs a couple of times before, but this was the first time I had seen the signal tower museum.

Photos on Tuesday : North Berwick

If everything has gone according to plan (and let's face facts, it almost certainly hasn't) I should be in Portugal by now. As long-term sufferers of my Eurovision posts may know, it's my first-ever visit to the country.

Thrillingly, however, I have a couple of pre-scheduled posts for you in my absence. First up, some photos from my two trips this summer to North Berwick. As gorgeous as the town itself and the beach are, I was really annoyed with myself - I took a boat trip to Bass Rock, but the batteries in my camera packed up right on cue, and I missed some truly spectacular shots!

As ever, click on any photo to enlarge.
