Melrose, Scotland

Aunty Les and Uncle Bill kindly lent us one of their cars and we drove up to Melrose in the Borders (Scotland). Very strange to be in a car again but after a few false starts to find first (not a big fan or having reverse in the usual first position i must say!) we had no probs. The Borders is just beautiful – lushly green with gorse and heather on the hills and cute little towns and ruins everywhere, not to mention the patchworked farms and forests. Falling in love with scotland all over again :) Went to Melrose Abbey and Jedburgh Abbey as well as doing the Eilden Hills walk which was lovely but strangely enough kind of hilly! Should note the gorse was above our heads in some parts of the path!
