Cloudy with sun today, remarkably warm at 22C.
Kathleen selects a trip to Galashiels, ten miles round trip, much more civilised, mostly along this very pleasant and well organised cycle track. For much of the way, it runs alongside a railway line, so, no steep gradients!.
Galashiels is a bigger place than Melrose, with at least two large supermarkets. Not as pleasant as Melrose however, with all of the signs of being "in decline", ie, a surplus of Charity Shops.

True Scottish weather this morning, pouring with rain!
By lunch time, the rain has stopped, and, the sun emerges, between the clouds, occasionally.
An appetite building three mile stroll along the banks of the River Tweed, followed by a very pleasant lunch at the Kings Arms Hotel, followed by an afternoon of sitting in the sun.

Mild and sunny this morning. Going to be a nice day, according to the weather forecast, typical, the day we are leaving.
A leisurely packing exercise, before the drive home.
Enroute, Kathleen receives the telephone call she has been eagerly awaiting, to say that Grand-daughter, Mollie, has excelled herself with her GCSE results, only the "A" levels and Degree to worry about now!
