Enjoying a bit of time with friends that had come to see me (wonderful). The next picture is the poor abuse that food only bins have to suffer at the hands of ucky people.

Had a few cycles up to Tynmouth and down to Blyth the beaches are very busy here and lovely weather.

5-7 August 2024 Berwick

Coffee in Dunbar before leaving for Berwick a short drive but again the roads were difficult due to road works. Got a good pitch then friends arrived so had a good catch up over the next two days had a few cycles and lots of chatting in the sun.

Today the 7th showed them The Catholic Church of our Lady and St Cuthbert although closed had a walk road the garden lovely. On the way back to the site noticed a removal van with a lovely picture on the side it could have been an early motorhome.

A sad thing on the site someone had stolen a picture from the toilet block.

4 August 2024 Dunbar

Cycle this morning into Dunbar and visited a few roads that I have never been before. Spotted a lovely artillery gun.

Round the harbor again lovely art work and spotted a Pirate then a coffee and cake in town and a good chat with the café owner.

Back to the site for a bit of hand washing as the next site the washing machine was out of order last time I was there. A pub in town named after my type of women.

2 August 2024 North Berwick

Down for a coffee at The Bothy before leaving for North Berwick love the carved Eagle. Horrible drive down again road diversions and road works its unbelievable.

Have always loved ergonomics don’t think this fits it well.

3 August 2024 Dunbar

Had a short cycle into North Berwick before leaving counted 54 camper vans parked on the sea front over night. They also ask beach walkers to clean the beach here of building rubble?

Short drive down 35 mins. not to bad, campsite busy took 20 mins to get through the gate Ugh wish I had got here early like the 6 vans in front of me.

Had lunch then a cycle into Dunbar down to the harbor. Back for afternoon tea then another cycle down to the lighthouse.

1 August 2024 Stirling

Walk first thing up to the Coffee Bothy the coffee is so nice had 2 cups unusual for me.

In the washing up area people can leave unwanted items for others I left a jar of coffee and some salad cream and it had gone on return from my cycle.

Cycle up to Menstrie and up to Alva one of my favorite gardens up the road. Tried to brake the speed limit (not really a car was passing)

In the afternoon a cycle into Stirling again.

31 July 2024 Stirling

Another first this morning in the toilets it is not unusual for a person to come out of a cubical after having a Poo then leaving without washing their hands BUT this morning a guy came out of the cubical did not wash hands then proceeded to brush his teeth FAB eh!

Cycle into Stirling this morning had a 2hour look around on some new streets came across a pub Molly Malone I thought she was a sweet thing did not look so good to me. Called in at The Coffee Bothy on the way back.

In the afternoon cycled up to Bridge of Allen the Costa has closed in the village but over the years it was never busy.
