Hello everyone--I'm Lorraine from County Durham

Hi----you're all as crazy as a box of frogs so that's a good enough reason for me to  join in!!

I'm past my sell-by date and since 1976 have worked in a sub post office-----but only until  1st July when Gordon's crowd (Brown-Labour Party) is closing us down and I will be on the scrap heap!!

I live on the S.W.Durham/North Yorkshire border and feel very lucky  to have   very varied and  beautiful countryside right on my doorstep.

 I love walking, but as I am unable to do so at the moment I have  resorted to car and camera. As a "retirement" present I've bought myself a new camera   ( I'll get nothing from the Post Office for 30 years service!!!)  so I  hope you like the photos of my local area.

. Thanks to those of  you who have already posted comments on some of my pics..

Hi Lorraine:

This will be very brief, cuz I think it's probably going to be a race to greet you first.  But Welcome!!!! 

YES!!!! (high 5) (or 6 if you're Denzil).

I checked out County Durham on the site Lorraine - God's country for sure.  You also have some wonderful pix.  Looking forward to seeing more.

Cheers,

RG

Hi Lorraine welcome to the madhouse

Crazy as a box of frogs? never heard that one before lol but you're sooo right! We have something in common, I too work for that wonderful establishment.....The Post Office, have done for about 15 years, not sure yet if ours is closing down but hopefully we will be one of the lucky ones. Lets face it the PO gives NOTHING away, I sometimes think I should be workling for Royal Mail instead LOL I will now go and look at your pics.

Ha Ruth, your first post amuses me.

I've done exactly the same thing in order to be the first greeter.

So Lorraine,  . You indeed have joined in with a crazy bunch of people, and I'm getting a feeling that you may just be fitting in with us perfectly.

Sorry about your job with the PO, that surely stinks.

Looking forward to getting to know you here on the forum, and seeing all of your wonderful pictures.

Happy day   .

Afternoon, Sue.  I took a late lunch at the house, but now it's back to work.  It's kinda nice to be able to participate live once in a while.  And sometimes its the only way to get in first with a welcome for a new member. 

Hi again, Lorraine - don't want to fray your thread too soon.  LOL.
