After an amazingly comfortable nights sleep, we have a
lovely breakfast and book out of Oakfold House.
We travel north through little towns along the
lakes. All so beautiful. The autumn
leaves along the edge if the water, with the green hills, makes the most
impressive scenery.
Never mind, Austria,
Germany, or Switzerland, if one wants the most magnificent scenery, the Lakes
District in England is right up there with the best.
We now travel towards Falkirk, Scotland. We are excited
to get into Scotland at last.
Paul wants to see the Falkirk Wheel, which has replaced
11 locks along the Scottish canals. He is
insistent that we go on this boat up the wheel, which is about 5 storeys high!
The tour takes about an hour. Check out the pics.
We have now arrived at the hotel, in Stirling, which is
16 miles from Falkirk. Beautiful new Hotel
which is down the road from the pool which hosted the Glasgow Games.
Got bad news from home today, Lauren's little daschund
was run over and killed today, and also at the same time, her fox terrier
Beannie, was run over but has run off and disappeared. Very tragic.
Rest in Peace, little Peanut. We
will miss you. I am praying that they find Beannie and he recovers.
All this has made me very homesick today. Miss my girls. Xxx But the adventure must
continue.
The skies are grey and heavy and more rain is predicted
for the next few days. Never mind, we
have warm clothes and rain jackets. I
read a sign in a window yesterday: "there is never bad weather, just a
bad choice of clothes"
