Glamorous Post Person competition.... I think here is the winner Tony!!!!

Tony for the people who don't know is our postman...but what he lacks in glamour he makes up in niceness!! This lady is a Garstang post woman...very pretty girl!!

Trying to post a link to a previous photo of Tony I have deleted all the rest of this post twice!!!
Here goes again if I can remember what I wrote before!!!!

Three good things:
1. Boden stuff arrived & I like!!
2. All stocked up for a full house at the weekend, four adults & five children so I hope I can keep up!!!
3. More cupboards tidied out today....not like me at all!!!!

a very nice photo Pat

Love the matching gear. Hope your guests behave themselves. I think I've cleaned out more cupboards this Spring than I've ever done. It must be all this miserable weather making us stay inside!
March 28th, 2013  
Great capture. I love the bright orange/red against all the light background.
March 28th, 2013  
Love all the pops of color here, Pat. Have a wonderful weekend with your houseful. You must have the cleanest house in all the world!
March 28th, 2013  
That is pretty cool. Ours just have big bags they carry around.
I have been cleaning cupboards also. Somebody has to do it - or we have to move....
March 28th, 2013  
Lots to look at! I,m cleaning out cupboards too. Its that time!
March 28th, 2013  
I getting confused.that does not look like a Tony to me and when I clicked on your link it said sorry!! Whoever that is impersonating Tony looks very glamorous to me!! I should be cleaning cupboards but I will i promise!! Glad the Boden stuff fits! and good luck this weekend!!
March 28th, 2013  
@barbsmith I can assure you Barb that is not the case...some of these cupboards hadn't been cleaned out for about two or three years!!! Thanks for your misplaced praise though!!!
March 28th, 2013  
@busylady Perhaps because it's too cold to go out Judith!!
March 28th, 2013  
@gerry Thank you Gerry!
March 28th, 2013  
@BevAnneS I liked the bright colours too...I just managed to take it before a car went past!!!
March 28th, 2013  
@cdonohoue Yes all our stuff can easily accumulate!!
March 28th, 2013  
@windridge @windridge Must be Susan...I am trying to get rid of clutter!
March 28th, 2013  
Wow - what a nice trolley for the mail! Our poor fellows have to carry it in a pack!
March 28th, 2013  
@bpaquette They've been using these trolleys a few years now Barbara ...so much junk mail to deliver but the PO is paid to take it round so worth their while...straight in the bin though!!!
March 28th, 2013  
Lovely colours and composition on this. Good luck with your busy weekend.
March 28th, 2013  
That trolley gets around. Must be hard work at the beginning of the shift, to eventually get somewhat lighter after they've dropped off the last of the junk mail at your house, Pat. :) I've only ever seen them in your photos though, the trolleys that is. I've seen junk mail most days, although the heyday of junk mail seems to be past? I like the red and orange pops in this shot.
March 28th, 2013  
HE looks very much like a SHE tony to me !!! and a glam lady at that !! Our post have also these carts to deliver all the junk mail !!
March 28th, 2013  
@beryl Yes this is a lady postman Beryl...our one is Tony who drives a van!!
March 28th, 2013  
@sabresun We must have more junk mail round here Matt. I only see these trolleys when I am in Garstang, we have a van!
March 28th, 2013  
@happypat Made an idiot of myself !! re- read your comment he,he & realized my mistake !!
March 28th, 2013  
Blimey, is it online shopping that leads to this huge truck load of post? Nice capture of the reds and the postie's stride!
March 28th, 2013  
@beryl Never Beryl, it is me , when I read it back I wasn't sure myself but most folk have seen our postman before so know what Tony looks like. I tried to copy & paste a photo but for some reason it never works for me on 365 ...other places yes but here no!!
March 28th, 2013  
You copy the subject liine at the top, Pat - which looks as if you did here! Never mind, I like Beryl with the blonde ponytail striding along the street in front of this lovely old whitewashed building! I don't envy you with a house full of guests but being four adults they can entertain themselves and their children without you - who will be in the kitchen whipping up lots of nice dishes!
March 28th, 2013  
Great shot and I like the composition with very little colour and the red standing out
March 28th, 2013  
Actually she looks a lot like ours - it's no wonder she's always running around if she has to do Garstang as well! Actually ours have much smaller trolleys and getting the letters is a real lottery these days. They have to go really fast and then the neighbours have to play pass the letter to deliver to the right address. Goodness knows what we're not getting.
March 28th, 2013  
@happypat PS you need to remove"> after your link and then I think it will work :0)
March 28th, 2013  
@fannyb Sorry missed your comment at first...must be my rambling on explanation of this photo Fanny, I do go on a bit & not always as clear as I should be... ! Thank re weekend, have not had a full house like this for ages ...hope I can keep up!!
March 28th, 2013  
@judithg Do I Judith, I have tried before but it never seems to work on 365 which is infuriating as it is useful to show relevant pictures. Will have a go & thank you Judith. You sound like you are doing PO work yourselves, I must agree they seem very busy & we don't get our post until mid afternoon some days, mind you Tony chats to all & sundry but no one minds.
March 28th, 2013  
What memories - Seed's stationer still going strong in Garstang. Often popped in here ehen mum and dad lived at Catterall or even longer since in the 60s when as a teenager I fished the Wyre behind the Doc's surgery. Dr Jackson who lived there was the husband of my cousin - Annie Nicholson!
March 28th, 2013  
@happypat It's gone altogether now!! It was right apart from those last to characters...
March 28th, 2013  
@judithg Oh it was disaster Judith the whole bally lot disappeared when I tried to delete the last bit of the link...have given up this time but will remember !!
March 28th, 2013  
@happypat Oh no!! Sorry Pat - I'll stop interfering!
March 28th, 2013  
@tonybeale Yep still here Tony, some new people have bought it & they have stream lined it all inside........it was a bit full of all sorts of lines...cake decorations for one as you will no doubt remember. Just stationery etc now but it is pretty quiet ..hope they can keep going!
No doctors surgery there now, all moved to the newish health centre on Kepple Lane but the Wyre still there of course, in fact I walked along there this afternoon.
March 28th, 2013  
@judithg No No Judith I am glad of the help ..not your fault I messed up!!!
March 28th, 2013  
Great capture and colours. I remember Tony the smiling postman from your shot on the Market.
March 28th, 2013  
Love the pops of color in this! Feels very lively!
March 28th, 2013  
Fabulous composition with awesome colors!
March 28th, 2013  
@happypat I'm never that lucky.
March 28th, 2013  
Great shot! Love the red pops of colour. Excellent "street".
March 28th, 2013  
Great colourful shot. I'll bet all the exercise keeps her trim too.
March 28th, 2013  
I love the way the colours pop in this one
March 28th, 2013  
Indeed she is quite attractive.
March 29th, 2013  
Excellent shot.. I love the colours and composition.
March 29th, 2013  
Boy does this pop off the page. A winner for sure!
March 29th, 2013  
Kind of like the clashing oranges and reds in this. Definitely a glamorous postie.
March 29th, 2013  
I really like this too. I have a shot in the last few days that is very different yet has similarities. A fav for composition and colour.
March 29th, 2013  
this is a great shot - nicely timed
March 29th, 2013  
superb colours, the reds and oranges are great Pat. I always like a postie shot as my dad was a postie and I was a "temporary christmas postman" for three holidays (when they used to employ students to take on the extra workload) !
March 29th, 2013  
Fav for composition and color-- very nicely done! Timing is perfect.
March 30th, 2013  
Perfect snapshot of English life - love it - fav. Hope your busy weekend is going well
March 30th, 2013  
Beautiful capture. Nice composition. Pretty contrast of colors. What else do you want me to say? I love it.
March 30th, 2013  
Great candid shot
