Friday 31 May

Fickle this Scottish weather - today it's grey and misty. We had thought of taking a day to visit one of the gardens around the Oban area, in the hope that further south there would be more to see. However the weather discouraged this so an executive decision was made to head home. It's quite a way from here but we're in no rush so set the satnav, service the van (just in case) and head home.

We won't go into much detail, we've travelled these roads a number of times before yet they are still attractive. A lunch stop at Callendar, around the Edinburgh City Bypass and then the favourite A68 to Jedburgh. Arriving at our usual afternoon break time, the offer of Tea For Two at the Jedburgh Woollen Mill took our fancy so we indulged ourselves in sandwiches, huge scones, fairy cakes and enough tea to float a battleship!

Alas all good things come to an end so a final cruise home in improving weather saw us arrive early evening.
