[kml_flashembed movie="http://www.youtube.com/v/nxfdChYCKYA" width="425" height="350" wmode="transparent" /] Don't give up - there is always a way to fix things. If your in a bad place at the moment watch this little video clip it brought a tear to my eye. All of us at sometime in life get stuck in reverse.

img_14463 I'm really enjoying these beautiful Autumn come Winter scenes here in Bo'ness. Just look and see how vibriant the colours were today. I was walking back from the church in the late morning.

IMG_0907.JPG Its amazing what you see on the road when your out and about around Bo'ness. I'm staggered at the weight of things that get transported on our roads.  Here's a steam engine being pulled by a lorry. The lorry is having a rest in a lay-by outside Bo'ness.
