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

Solid olive oil

It was cold enough that I had solid olive oil Thursday morning.

It was a grey wet Friday.

Sunday

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.

Jedburgh – “Jedi” – Camping in Scotland

Jedburgh - Jedi

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.

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.
