Brae. A gay woman's tale!

Well… the “well stocked shop for all your essentials” is not open until Friday… and Sprout just took off with her lead tangled around my wind out awning leg and snapped the plastic connector… have had to wind it back in for now and hope I can buy a spare… or I will have to buy a new awning! I guess something had to be shitty during my break but I’m really angry with Sprout. I could see she had tangled her lead round the leg and I told her to wait… she ignored me! I feel like just driving home.

Well… Sprout and I have arrived at Jedwater near Jedburgh for 3 nights of chilling. I have to say I am a wee bit disappointed after the beautiful wee site in Cumbria… but it will do… the river is 20 feet away and some nice walks for Sprout.

I drove alongside Hadrian’s Wall for a good part of the journey here and I did plan on doing the forest drive at Keilder but got to it to find it is closed until 25th!!… but my Satnav found me another beautiful drive along single track lanes and through the hills. Unfortunately too many sheep around to stop with Sprout, which is a shame!

Anyway after 2 days of unexpected great fun, it is now time to chill!… I will probably head back and do the Forest drive on Friday.

Can’t believe how many dead flies I have collected… my windscreen is just as bad…. so will be shopping for a squeegee!

I have just come back into the safety of the van… it seems the midges have followed me!

Well… part two of my wandering comes to a close today and it is time to move on to my final wee stop near Jedburgh.

I’ve had a lovely time here… and loved the site… I will return as it is a handy stop over!

The past couple of days have made me feel alive again… even if I have woken up with midge bites and a really bad runny nose! (Serves me right for going paddling!).

I really don’t want to leave here.. but my journey has to continue…
