Welcome to

Life is Like a Roll of Toilet Paper ....

the nearer the end....

the quicker it goes.

3 August 2017 5th Tour Day

  After a pretty pleasant stay at a Jury's Inn (so far, we have not ever been disappointed in Jury's) we headed for Scotland.  After all, Scotland is the reason for this trip...it was while watching a program about Scotland that I got teary and told Larry we "needed" to get back!
  The drive followed the coastline to Berwick-upon-Tweed, just south of the Scottish border.
See more of Tweed

  This peaceful town has a turbulent past.  Its Elizabethan walls, built to keep invading Scots out, quietly hold a myriad of tales that would shatter the sense of today's quietude.
FIRST STOP  A RAINY PORTION OF HADRIAN'S WALL

AND INTO SCOTLAND




BOOKED FOR THE CEREMONY OF THE HAGGIS THAT EVENING
Haggis

I can't guarantee that you will ever want to try it, once you've seen the pictures in the link.  However, I quite like it, in respectable portions



Our Greeter




These two are the best and most precious mementoes of this wonderful trip.  We became such good and dear friends of Jude and Glenn and know that our friendship will last the rest of our lives.  We spent so many hours of laughter and "tipping a few" and just seeing their faces in pictures is a treasure to us both.

Our itinerary for day 6.  I often take pictures so we can remember the next morning.
