After having an overcast day today for that 'special' day the drive down here from Edinburgh was fairly ineventful except for the usual taking wrong turns or being in the wrong lane at the roundabout!!
You can be on a 4 lane road and when you come to a roundabout you then have 4 lanes going ahead and woe etide being in the wrong lane as very few indicate anything so it is useless to try and change lanes if you happen to be in the wrong lane. By 4 lane road I meant 2 in each direction not all going the one way. Just clarifying!!
Temp when we left Edinburgh at 10am was 10 deg. At 2pm after crossing the border it had moved to 9deg. Yes that breeze was chilly and cut through you.
My sister Julie had arranged a 'surprise' for me here at the hotel, chocolate birthday cake, and the reception staff even sang happy birthday. Thanks little sis.
We called into Berwick on Tweed for lunch and took some photos there of an old stone railway bridge still standing firm high above the river.
Also called into Alnick to check out the castle, was the one 'Blackadder' rode in front of in the tv series however, lots of people and little parking meant that we kept on driving and then we found Warkworth Castle instead so took some photos of that, and used there FREE toilet.
You might laugh but in Edinburgh it cost 20p every time you wanted to use their facilities until we found out the ones in Jenners store were free
