The 39 Steps in on Talking Pictures at 1650 this afternoon.

It is one of the best adverts for Scottish scenery ever. Lots of roads that we may be driving, and lots of places that have barely changed in sixty years.

 

[Pauliebhoy]

We have got 2 walkie talkies that we use in the garden. We will have one and the other can be borrowed by someone else
