Hi Cath Thanks for your visit and nice comments. I haven't been taking many photos this year as not really been anywhere different. I was at the Highland Show last Friday so managed a few photos there but still to edit and load up. I came back from Airdrie today to prepare for Bob & Myra coming. We have a very busy house now as Rhona is staying with us and Angela has a job in Invergordon and at the moment is travelling back and forth but is moving into a cottage next week. Irene
Hi Cath Have at last had the chance to look at your Coldingham/Eyemouth pictures. As you say, we take the same kind of shots, although you take at least twice as many as me. (and Bob takes half). Your pictures are lovely, and really show the day as it happened. Hope you get some lovely pictures at Portpatrick. (.... but of course you will) :-) Slainte Myra
Hi Cath! A belated Happy Birthday and Congrats with your retirement! I just had a look at the pictures at Myra's! She did well! :) I can see you had a great time and enjoyed every minute! A virtual flower from me to you!
Hi Cath Thanks for your message. I have been having trouble posting my pics, and have more to post. Don't know why, but it seems to be stopping after five or six pictures. Cheers Myra
Hello Cath, trust all is well , thought this might be of use !! Apparently this is a standard procedure all paramedics follow at the scene of an accident when they come across your cell phone.
ICE - 'In Case of Emergency'
We all carry our mobile phones with names & numbers stored in its memory but nobody, other than ourselves, knows which of these numbers belong to our closest family or friends.
If we were to be involved in an accident or were taken ill, the people attending us would have our mobile phone but wouldn't know who to call. Yes, there are hundreds of numbers stored but which one is the contact person in case of an emergency? Hence the 'ICE' (In Case of Emergency) Campaign. The concept of 'ICE' is catching on quickly. It is a method of contact during emergency situations. As cell(mobile)phones are carried by the majority of the population, all you need to do is store the number of a contact person or persons who should be contacted during emergency under the name 'ICE' ( In Case Of Emergency). The idea was thought up by a paramedic who found that when he went to the scenes of accidents, there were always mobile phones with patients, but they didn't know which number to call. He therefore thought that it would be a good idea if there was a nationally recognized name for this purpose. In an emergency situation, Emergency Service personnel and hospital Staff would be able to quickly contact the right person by simply dialing the number you have stored as 'ICE.' For more than one contact name simply enter ICE1, ICE2 and ICE3 etc.
A great idea that will make a difference!
Let's spread the concept of ICE by storing an ICE number in our Mobile phones today!
Please forward this. It won't take too many 'forwards' before everybody will know about this. It really could save your life, or put a loved one's mind at rest.

PS Have just spent some time having a browse of your Malta albums and thoroughly enjoyed myself reliving the walks and tours we had. I particularly like your macro flowers, Cath, you really have them very sharp........I am always surprised at the photographs we take, the similarities, but also the differences, and it is nice to see it from another perspective. Thanks for sharing.
