Family time

I spent a lovely couple of days with Mum in the Scottish borders. She is having a short, well-earned break at a cottage we have visited a number of times over the past 35 years.

The weather was lovely and the lambs were jumping around full of energy. The real, baba lambs. Us “human” Lambs were all knackered!

I had a long and quite tiring walk on Sunday but it was a real pleasure. Especially when I came back to good food and wine. Thanks mum!! xx

The cottage is on the estate of the Polwarth family – I took a snap of their beautiful home as I went past one day.

Coming back from the walk I took this snap over the valley. The cottage is in the distance marked with a red dot above it on the horizon. A beautiful location.

And a snap of the cottage from the foot of it’s hill, just as I arrived back.
