It's been a very windy day and although it threatened to rain many times it never amounted to much. We set up on Friday evening and we had a fairly leisurely start today, breakfast at eight am then dropped Mandy at the bus museum and I headed up to Dundee. It was very fresh but mainly bright, the new livery of sort of green or camouflage olive doesn't do much for the national express fleet when is now branded explore Dundee, perhaps they are doing it on the quiet and don't want the buses seen. Really I can't recall a bus fleet go downhill so fast, the look is quite disgusting. It seemed to be a bit on the quiet side but I managed to get an hour of film and then took the road back south but encountered an accident which soaked up about thirty minutes and then an hour in road works getting from the motorway into Dunfermline. To say it was windy at the bus station is a bit of an understatement, it was hard even with the substantial manfrotto tripod. By the time I got back to Mandy at the museum it was time to have a cuppa and a piece of cake before returning to our digs with pat and Norman. Takings were well down on last year which seemed an upward trend destined to be short lived. Lots of stands missing and buses a bit thin in the ground, I'll film at lathalmond tkmorrow. We'll drop off at our new favourite pub down on the Lancashire border on the way home but will be up on Monday ready to clear dvd orders and go to a meeting with the architect reference the church toilet which still rumbles on in the background.. I'm going to try and fit in some time attending to the woodworm there, really film trips are going to be weather dependent, Wednesday is a walking day.
