i see the old stores are now flats its the same at most harbours now a days just a sign of the times.

Thats right Bryan And they are started building flats just round the corner from the old stores where the fish and prawn factory was
Sign of the times as you say

aye Cyril i got a good few balls of twine and cuttings of net for makeing creels out of the stores a very long time ago Joe stewart son and i were palls and his uncle had four boats gear to mend so we were never short of twine. sadly all in the past.

Did ye stay in Lossie Bryan at that time

No Cyril when Joe Stewart sold the Tudor Rose he became a coastgaurd at Carnoustie .thats where i met the Stewarts i just went to Lossie for holidays with them. I am going back a long time Cyril late 60s early 70s.had a few sails aboard the Girl Irene tads.joes car was all ways full on the way home with the goodies from the store.its sad to see Lossie the way it is now with no home fleet. just the same as Arbroath just a few creel boats.

I mind on Joe Bryan He wis better known by his bye name (Josie Penny)
His wife Jinanne moved back to Lossie after Josie died but she passed away a few months ago I never saw Josie very often after he moved to Carnostie where is his son now I canna mind on him
Lossie is just a Marina now same as Arbroath full of Yachts

aye Cyril Joes son John has been all over the world working he lives in the south coast of England now .Joe all ways said between the two of us i would go to the sea.any sail we got John would be sick as the boat turn to go round the peir end. its been fine news with you Cyril if it had not been for Lossie i would not have been 35 year at the sea.

thats twa bonny photies o' Lossie,, thanks for posting Cyril
