A brief break

Just a had a quiet thirty six hours away from home.   Not too far,  headed to Peebles and had a wander round the shops.  Nice to see a High Street without any f the multinationals in sight  ( apart from Greggs - who are Scottish and based at Loanhead).    Wetherspoons are opening a new pub in the town next week, having taken over an old one and done a good refurbishment - might waken up a few folks,    I popped into the Crown for a bacon roll but was told breakfasts had stopped five minutes earlier,   So crossed the road and a wee café did the business - hit the spot
Even bought a new pair of good shoes at Rogersons and another wee treat in the kilt shop (shush).
Back up the road to the Barony Hotel where we were booked in for their D.B.& B. deal and a couple of treatments in the Spa -  nice and relaxing,    Even found myself drinking Recorderlig cider and enjoying it - might just be tempted again.
Only thing to disrupt my peace of mind was a phone call to Garmin UK,  seemed simple,  but after a long wait things went from bad to worse - so a call back is  needed next week when I am calm.
Anyway, watching the Open Golf while waiting to head home, and then back to work this afternoon, needs must.
