Friends (2xPiPs) HBM!

Friends (2xPiPs) HBM!
Captured at Carradale, a little fishing village in Kintyre, Scotland. These two lovely ladies were on a break from their jobs in a care home. Although they previously had totally different careers they both said how much they loved their jobs, and clearly love life as well. They saw me taking photos and joking invited me to take their picture and happily posed for me. We chatted for a while and they even taught me to pronounce a few Scottish place names properly!! I can honestly say they never stopped smiling and laughing. How much of a difference these friendly girls must make to the people they help to care for and their fellow workers.

When I almost reluctantly left them to their lunch I was smiling broadly myself. I need sunny people like this in my life too!

Here is a song by REM called 'Shiny Happy People' It features Kate Pierson of the B-52's

www.youtube.com/watch?v=YYOKMUTTDdA

It was used on one of the episodes of 'Friends' and was chosen for the unaired pilot of the show, although it was replaced by the song from The Rembrandts, 'I'll Be There for You' (Wiki)

HBM!!

I love the contrast in textures between the wooden picnic table and the rocks by the waterline, Carol. I love also the colour contrast between red and blue. I hope you have a great new week.. All the best, Joe

Nice to see this very bench that I too have sat at, just last year. A great little place, we had a cottage overlooking the sea just a few metres from here. The ladies seem pretty happy. Great job!
Thanks for sharing.

Ecobird club has replied to * ઇଓ * club
Thank you very much * ઇઉ *. They are really lovely people and happy in their jobs. I believe they said that one worked as an accountant previously and the other in a prison so very different fro their current jobs. To be honest I could easily have joined them at the table and chatted for hours.
I am pleased you like the music too!

The ladies look very happy and caring Carol, and very friendly too!
A beautiful series of pictures and I especially love the ones that the ladies are in.
I rely on my Scottish sister-in-law for pronunciations. Living in Farnborough for over
20 years has not diminished her accent :-))

HBM and wish you a good new week.

Ecobird club has replied to Rosalyn Hilborne
Thank you very much Rosa. I am pleased you liked the pictures and yes, the ladies were full of fun and very friendly. I would be very pleased to have a sister in law to help me pronounce some of the Scottish place names and would love to hear her accent. I really should make it a condition of booking that we only do so on the proviso I can pronounce the name!! We were ok this time though as Stirling and Ford were particularly easy!!
