    North Berwick

    September 7, 2020 in Scotland ⋅ ☁️ 11 °C

    Here we are on a campsite close to North Berwick. We camped here for a few nights last year and thoroughly enjoyed it. We had a two hour journey from Seahouses this morning and the weather was better than what had been forecast. We set up camp just after 12 noon. This afternoon we enjoyed a walk along the beach. Weather is warm but breezy. We enjoyed pasta puttanesca for dinner and now the great Scrabble challenge is about to commence. We have cheese and crackers and red wine at the ready to fortify us!Read more

    North Berwick

    September 8, 2020 in Scotland ⋅ ☀️ 17 °C

    Second attempt at sending this message! This morning we walked from the campsite into North Berwick, a walk of about one and a half hours. We took a different route from this time last year and walked along a small part of the John Muir Way rather than along the beach. We followed the path inland but parallel with the sea. We walked into North Berwick along a wonderful road with interesting and large and even larger houses. We then skirted around a golf course and then into the town of North Berwick. We enjoyed tea and shared a scone at the Sea Life centre, sitting outside, enjoying the scenery. We then split up for a while and met at an Italian Restaurant where they serve Italian “tapas”. We had been there once last year and then again on a second occasion with Isabel. The food was wonderful, staff attentive and all Covid regulations in place. Great! Then it was a taxi ride back to the campsite. This evening , continuing with the Italian theme, we are having Insalata Tricolore. The wind has now got up so we are sitting inside Wolfgang but can’t complain as the weather today has been glorious!Read more

    St Abb's HarbourColdingham BayEnjoying a G&T. Well deserved having done 14,000 steps!

    North Berwick to Coldingham Bay

    September 9, 2020 in Scotland ⋅ ☀️ 15 °C

    Awake early with the dawn chorus of wood pigeons and a blustery breeze but it was sunny. After an early breakfast, we left North Berwick and drove west to Guillane and Aberlady with fine views north to Edinburgh. We drove for a bit down the A1 and then turned off to Coldingham. It wasn’t a road we had been on before but Sabine, our SatNav directed us that way and it was fantastic. Elevated views in front of us all the way. We arrived at 10.30 at the campsite at Coldingham and fortunately were allowed to get on site and set-up. Then we headed off to walk via Coldingham to St. Abb’s Harbour. Warm sunshine but breezy and we sat on one of our favourite benches overlooking the harbour and enjoying our packed lunch. Then back to Coldingham and a restful afternoon. Margaret read her novel while Peter prepared a gourmet meal. More of that to follow!Read more

    Food glorious food!

    September 9, 2020 in Scotland ⋅ ☀️ 15 °C

    We left you on a cliff-hanger earlier not letting you know what the gourmet dinner was!! We had BBQ prawns to start cooked in their shells served with lemon wedges. Delicious! The main course was lamb steaks marinaded in rosemary and olive oil, cooked on the BBQ and served with roasted peppers, tomato, feta cheese and pitta breads. We certainly don’t slum it when we are camping!Read more

    Coldingham to Eyemouth

    September 10, 2020 in Scotland ⋅ ☀️ 13 °C

    Early morning sun and an early breakfast al fresco and then we were off on our walk. We walked down to Coldingham Bay and then turned right in the direction of Eyemouth. Although only a three - four mile walk mainly on the top of the headlands, with wonderful coastal views all the way back to St. Abb’s Head, it does however involve two steep downs and two steep ups with a bit of scrambling. All evidenced by Margaret’s FitBit which calculated we did 12,600 steps and 41 elevations!

    It took the best part of three hours and rather than walking back, we took the easy option of the 15 minute bus journey from Eyemouth to Coldingham and the bus dropped us right outside the campsite. Of course, we could not use our bus-passes as we are in Scotland! We did not go all the way into Eyemouth as we know from previous experience that it is an unprepossessing place.
    It is still a working harbour but could be much nicer, maybe with a couple of seafood eateries. However, it is just long refrigerated container lorries of whatever seafood has been caught waiting to be shipped out to France and Spain!

    We were back at the campsite to enjoy our tuna sandwiches for lunch. There has been no breeze today and this morning was warm and sunny - perfect walking weather. This afternoon has been dull and cloudy but still pleasant.

    There is another gourmet meal being planned followed by Round 4 of the Great Scrabble Competition. Come back later and experience with us some culinary delights!    Read more

    Dinner!

    September 10, 2020 in Scotland ⋅ ☀️ 13 °C

    Another evening. Another dinner. Two types of pate and crackers to start. Main course was turkey steak marinated in chilli and garlic, courtesy of Mr Sainsbury. Also pork sausages. Accompanied by Mr Ben microwaveable rice. Good but not as great as last night’s dinner. And now to follow, will it be three types of cheese and crackers or a Mr Kipling pudding and Ambrosia custard?🤔Read more
