Comments

Saw lots of trains - a yellow 125, a Pullman and a very quiet Virgin, Inverness-London train. Ashley met Jack (a dental technician) on the golf course. Sang 'Happy Birthday' to Ashley (48). He won the 'hoying the turnip' competition. Had lunch by the River Aln. Modern Bridge at Lesbury - a bit like the Millenium Bridge. Saw a quarry with a shooting range.

Wildlife: Lots of friendly horses. Herons, kestrels, three black cats, large skein of geese, bull, lots of crows.


Evening meal

Border Minstrel. Joined by Carol and Evelyn. Generally considered a good meal.
