On Wednesday Jeremy and I went to the beach in Edinburgh among other things – including having a meal in an “eerie” pub.

Tea on the Southern Upland Way

/ Walking / , , , , , , , ,

It froze last night! There was frost on the grass and ice on the windows of the MX-5 when I got up. My sleeping gear kept me warm throughout the night but it was chilly whilst I was having my breakfast.

After sorting some things for Octagon, which included driving out to get a better internet connection, I set off from Lauder to walk some more of the Southern Upland Way.

I came across this picnic table at just about the time for a tea break – great view, tucked away out of the wind and a sun trap.
