It didn't stop raining all day and as we crossed the border to Scotland we started getting snow. We were quite delighted by it all.
And then the wet snow got heavier and heavier and the roads were flooded, the windows fogged up, rivers were running fast and hard and the roads were very slushy. It wasn't as much fun by then. We'd already arranged to go to a farmstay B&B near Edinburgh and when we got to Gifford, their village, we had to go through floods in their high street. Once we'd settled in we went into the village pub for a meal (our experience of pub meals is very positive by the way) and had to brush snow off our car windows in order to get back our very comfortable and warm B&B.
Everyone we spoke to says this is unseasonally cold. We know why our ancestors left.
PS Most of the photos above were taken through the car window. I wasn't getting out. No way.
The Scots must have been a hardy lot as the Romans did not attempt to cross into their territory....or perhaps it was too cold!! great blogs Triggs
