Friday 22nd February
Depart
Rise at 9:00
Breakfast, pack, strip bedding, sort laundry, clean up doggy foot prints and
leave at
11:15, a tad late. We meet the cleaner arriving to prepare for the next guests.
She's delighted with the efforts we made to prepare the place for her.
Dumfries
We are in Robert Burn's country and have lunch at a small cafe in Dumfries. Yet more good
food! We say farewell to Laura and Andrew, who make their way to Milton Keynes. |
Journey
Rick and I share the drive back There's strong sunshine mixed with gales and heavy rain.
We see lorries that have been blown off of the motorway. We're really fortunate with the weather - sunshine on the motorway, with rain and snow falling on the surrounding hills and mountains.
The following day there were heavy snow falls and roads were blocked.
The BBC states: "As drifts up to 20ft deep formed many roads in the country were closed and heavy falls also brought routes in the north of England to a standstill."
Cambridge
We're back in Cambridge at 20:00. How wonderful to be back in the Fens. No bloody mountains to get in the way!
