Well we stayed wild camping on the car park by the river and awoke to blue skies. Our morning activity involved some pre breakfast exercise and then a trip to the butchers to get the best haggis in Scotland.....this is official because Joan says so! We agree because we have had several Langholm haggis and can vouch for this ourselves.
Then we called in on Joan and husband Andy for 'second breakfast'. It's a bit similar to the Munich second breakfast but without the beer and pretzels. We actually had bacon and sausage buns with a cup of tea, couldn't be better. Joan's daughter, Allison called in to see us too, it was lovely to see them.
Not many people know that Thomas Telford, the famous engineer and bridge builder came from just outside Langholm and also astronaut Neil Armstrong came here to receive the freedom of the town because his ancestors come from here! You learn something every day.
We went back to the van and set off through Hawick and onward to the east coast at St Abbs Head, north of Berwick. Janice has invented a new way of navigating....she thinks that left = North and right = South. She seems to have forgotten that East and west exist! Anyway, despite the directions we got there!
St Abbs Head harbour.
It's a nice little little place but we cycled over to Eyemouth with the intention to have some fish and chips. We haven't had them from a chip shop for such a long time and I thought this could be the place to eat them by the fishing harbour.
Guess who had the big portion?
I had an ice cream to follow but Janice thought it was one too many!!
