Different venue always adds to the taste buddy, we’ve been in a few restaurants in England and thought they where miles better than the ones up here … tho I am easily pleased so a bugger van is fine dining to me

Nice drive to Gretna Green lovely scenery.
Roads had lots of surface water on them so we kept the speed down to warp factor 4.
Now pitched and settled at the site.
Nice hotel next door to the site.....paying a visit for something to eat and a beverage or three.
Off exploring tomorrow.
Strong winds again.....but no rain at the moment.
The van has done us proud thus far not missed a beat.......bugger......wonder if I should have said that now

 

[1 shot willie]

Gretna Green was so worth the visit......the history of it........and the small Museum.....is amazing.
There was a wedding taking place while we were there.

Back home now after a 9 1/2 hr drive from Gretna........traffic and breakdowns all the way home .......not us though thankfully.......the van never missed a beat.

Plans in the making for future trips

Happy days.
