Walking with Romans

deere street

Well …. not quite walking with Romans, but walking upon the ancient route known as “Deere Street” built by the Romans some 2,000 years ago. In places the road was typically Roman – straight as a die – but every now and then there was a little bit of a curve as the road navigated around a mountain or two. Mama said the Romans were good, but even they had to bow down to a mountain being in their way. This is such a desolate and remote part of the Scottish Borders I can’t understand why they came this far – but I’m very glad we did!

Lady Doris, our Motorhome for the last 5 years has now been “re-homed”. Unfortunately Dada’s job meant that he couldn’t spend as much time keeping Lady Doris in tip top condition, so a new home was found. She now lives with two very very nice people who we know love her very much as they keep sending us photos of where they’ve all been.

We are now the happy owners of a chalet in Mablethorpe, but as this is hardly a “flashback” topic, I’ll have to show you pictures of my new home at some later time!
