I certainly hope so Phil.

The sight in the left eye seems to have increased over last of couple of days, so hoping it gets better.

Left to right: Rich, Carter Bar piper, me, not sure, George, Stu, Graham, Brian, Nigel(?), not sure who the last two are.
Steve I recognise the bloke on your left, I can’t remember his name but if I remember correct, he comes from quite a bit north of Scotland , I remember he’s home name says he lives way up north of Scotland ,about 3 hours drive . His name might be called Tam but not sure. I’ve looked on various Carter Bars but can’t see his name that rings a bell I know. The “Nigel” is known as Nigelobb.

Had to resort to the local Co-op's delivery service earlier, I was fine yesterday afternoon/evening and looking forward to getting out today but my hip said no, in no uncertain terms NO.

Jeff, if you are interested I have a Box Brownie complete with its canvas case
Thanks for the kind offer Steve

Tam (rotrex), knew him well, I believe there'll be pics of him at one of the Lomond meets we had in November organised by Tim Burgess iirc.

No Jeff he was Tam Leek, but he passed away quite a few years ago. He was a really nice fella too.
