Fife usually provides rich pickings for the bus enthusiast
The weather looks as if its going to be rough over the Lathalmond weekend which is a pity, I've got a couple of nice compilation programmes done ready for it plus lots of new Scottish releases from the past year.
A tidy in the garden after work in the afternoon sun, car back from another trip to the garage, hopefully all well for Scotland.

Everyone loves an RT, wasn't it wet at North Weald
Well we are are all learning, all the time, for some it takes longer than others.
Well another week flown by, most of the DVD stock for Lathalmond was ready yesterday, Mandy had polio fellowship meeting this afternoon, I'm just finishing off editing last weekends films. Then tomorrow off to Ireland for weekend. This was the gaden yesterday afternoon, a lovely hot sunny day but forcast in Ireland poor for weekend but then with a few pints of the black stuff who cares. Still busy at work and at home film orders seem to be picking up again.
Tinbridge wells and Maidstone taken last Friday, Tunbridge certainly had the most bus interest, Maidstone these days is quite scant on buses save for Nu Venture ancient Titans doing the rounds.
What a colourful place Eastbourne was for buses, the local operator now threatened by competition, although little new between them, the latest buses more likely to come over from Brighton but hey the weather was good, all taken last Thursday.
these scenes in East Kent last Saturday, we visited Canterbury, Folkestone, Dover, Broadstairs and Margate. Weather terrific as you can see and so much new in the fleet although plenty of older vehicles can be found.
a good mix of East Kent buses and a few guests, old and new in service, well run, busy day. Trading not bad for first attempt although few photos sold from the large E K stock we took. Cleared all the East Kent Best Ever DVDs which was good. Weather, hottest day of year, 90 degrees and clear sky all day, bliss for me, hell for others.
Had brief stop at Scunthorpe ( sunny !) then on to Burnley , Northern Blue going to Transdev next week. Then Mandy rang to remind me we were at the Opera at Clonter so spead home, quick change etc and Don Giovanni, dinner at 10.30pm after performance, great night out as ever but up extra early to catch up water garden, do e mails etc as tonight to drive down to Sussex. A couple of days there then Kent finishing with Herne Bay rally on Sunday. So see you all next week, hope you have a warm and sunny time, its about time summer arrived, beautiful sunny morning outside at present.
