You can be more relaxed about timings and deadlines, and you can enjoy the shopping for repairs and replacements. The day *before* you go on holiday is less convenient: I kept needing to check how much time I had and how many things to do. Luckily I had not completely destroyed my watch, just dislodged the pin that holds it to the strap. It is in my pocket, so I can consult it when I need to.
Despite this time handicap, we were on the road not long after midday, in blazing sunshine and wondering whether I had packed too many warm clothes. Northumberland was beautiful but overcast, and we crossed the Forth in a downpour. Now at The Well country inn, near Loch Leven, but the skies are too grey for the scenery to tempt us out to explore.
We will eat in the bar and try to be away before the Tartan Army arrives for the match (which starts at eleven, so it shouldn't be a problem). Tomorrow we join D and V for midsummer week in Moray.
