Washed Out

The track up to Smailhome Tower has suffered in the recent storms. The Tower looks none the worse - I hope the Green Roof managed to cope with the amount of water that landed on it. 

We took a little detour up here on our way home from Kelso. I was hoping to get right up to the top, but it was a choice of give up here or ruin my boots - vanity won.

The trip was a wash-out too. My aim was to refill my laundry liquid bottle at Cafe U - but they had run out. So I had to make do with a cheese scone, a piece of fruit cake and a book from the swop shelf. 'The Sea, the Sea' . I read it about 50 years ago and can't remember a thing about it.

Storm Jorge has arrived now, with wind and sleet. Stove on,  a glass of red and a snoring cat beside me. And the first day of Spring tomorrow!
