Tales from the Park

I saw this very sad poster in the park the other day.

 

I really hope George turns up. Its pretty cold out there and he looks like a nice wee fellow! Obviously much loved.

With Me & I

The hypnotic effect of the open road and some hardcore Hendrix reminds me strongly of that cult British classic, Withnail & I.

On this trip we did not run foul of the law - 'honestly Ocifer'. A full chicken dinner was not consumed on the passenger side - although a Marks and Spencers lunch might have been.

For details of the cult classic (a favourite of mine) see:

Berwick - Historic Border Town

Last weekend we spent an afternoon in the beautiful historic border town of Berwick. Just over an hour South of Edinburgh and only just inside the modern English Border, Berwick has for centuries been fought over by the English and the Scots.

A walk along the town's ancient walls at the mouth of the river Tweed was made strangely atmospheric by a very localised har fog that rose from the river.

The very old and somewhat delapidated stone buildings of the town added to a sense of the town's heritage.

I really liked it and hope to return to do more sightseeing on a clearer day. We would certianly recommend a visit if you get the chance.
