recovering from our fell climb yesterday, we headed to the Solway
Firth, specifically Allonby Bay. Took a walk along the beach, which
was a treasure trove of shells, interesting rocks and bits and pieces
of what looked to be broken china pieces, some with the pattern
clearly intact. These pieces looked like tumbled rocks, very smooth
to the touch. So of course, I had to take the most interesting ones I
could find! So maybe I'll come home with a suitcase full of rocks!
It was a warm and sunny day today so the beach walk was a pleasant
one. After that walked back through the village of Allonby and
finished it off with an ice cream cone. No one (Mr. E) had a lactose
intolerance attack and therefore, we were all spared the indignities
of it's side affects. After arriving home, we had a wonderful dinner,
lovingly prepared by David and Margaret. More ice cream for
dessert........ooohhh boy.
Tomorrow morning we are off to Glasgow by train, leaving from
Carlisle. We have reservations at the Glasgow Youth Hostel.
Wednesday we will begin the hike. First day will be Glasgow to
Milngavie (pronounced "mull-guy"). This will be around 11 miles. Will
post more from Scotland as Internet service is available, which may be
sporadic at times. No worries if you don't hear from us for a while!
Cheers from England---Scotland, here we come!
