One thing about doing LEJOG is that you can't be in two places at once. My ticket to see David Sedaris in Bournemouth last night was wasted. Davis Sedaris is a bit of a Marmite person. Some friends don't seem to get him. Tina and I, and Carol and Ken, do like him, spread thick or thin. They reported back to me that it was a really good evening, I wish I could have been there. Here he is:
I should mention Mark Moxon's excellent LEJOG site. I've been meaning to for ages. He's put me on his site, a very nice thing to do.
Peebles is the sort of town you would like to spend some time in. I reached it after walking along the Tweed for five or six miles. A high street with hardly a big name in it, lots of friendly people to chat to, and lovely old buildings. I stopped for coffee and had a quick look around.
The rest of the day was uneventful, apart from a caterpillar on the road... Disused railway lines, paths, farm tracks and lanes made a slightly convoluted route to Carlops, and the Allan Ramsey Hotel
Tomorrow - Edinburgh? The Forth road bridge? Who knows. Not me. Yet...
