Just back from a week spent in Kirk Yetholm. This is almost in England and I did not realise how lovely some of the Border countryside was. Lots of travelling folk lived in this place and in the cottage where we stayed. One of the photies is of the cottage in the long ago. Family of twelve lived here at one time. Highlights of the trip were getting onto the Holy Island (though we just drove back off since Heather had been there before, visiting the scene of the Battle of Flodden, and seeing the Smailholm Tower, which was a place to hide/love during the reiving years.
I say!
ReplyDeleteWere you fortunate enough to catch any cricket whilst in England?

The folk thereabouts are not wimps. They play rugby.
ReplyDeleteI went to Flodden once with Denny and her folks. The things we do for love. Didn't get to the Smailholm Tower.
