It was an up, then down, then up day. It started off fine and sunny, then cooled and got very grey, but now it is a warm sunny evening.
the view from my new pitch
I moved my tent today to a new pitch, that gets the early sun. My previous pitch was in shadow until much later. All I now need is sun tomorrow.
It was raining and windy this morning so it was a good excuse, on a Sunday morning to lay in with coffee and a video. But you cannot waste the whole day even if it is raining every fifteen minutes.
I needed a gas canister (I could not get one yesterday in Edinburgh) so I went to Halfords in Galashiels to get one, taking the scenic route. The photo is from the tea stop on the way back.
This afternoon and this evening more rain showers and more videos.
National Museum of Scotland
I went into Edinburgh today and spent the day with Jeremy. A trip to the museum and a bit of shopping. Haggis rolls for breakfast in his favourite Italian cafe this morning and a curry tonight before I head back to the tent.

To avoid the Newcastle A1 roadworks I used the A68 today – with a lunchtime stop in Jedburgh.
I managed to get to Scotch Corner with the MX-5 top down before some light rain forced me to pull over and put the roof up. However after leaving Jedburgh it was down again.
Rain at Scotch Corner
I got to the campsite by mid-afternoon and there was no more rain but I was glad I packed the quilted fleece liner for my M65 jacket as it was cool sitting out having my tea. For tonight I have my Helly Hansen base layer, a fleece liner and my down sleeping bag. I am not expecting to get cold.

Something from the garden today – I have gear and equipment to clean and sort today, it is too wet and gray to get the MX-5 out and I have Octagon work to organise for the coming week.
Here are a few extra photos from the Scotland trip I have did not post.
