Our Year of Adventure
We decided to drive out to a small village called Smailholm where David's mum was born. On the outskirts of the village there is a tower offering great views but as we got closer the road was so muddy that we decided better not to get the car stuck there.
Our drive through Kelso yesterday inspired us to have a closer look at the town. We had a walk around the town centre and visited the Abbey, which for our surprise was both open and free to enter, unlike Floors Castle, which doesn't open for visitors until Easter. The road follows the castle ground walls and the grounds seem to be absolutely huge reaching miles on each side. The garden centre of the castle was open so we had a quick peak around there, but unfortunately there is no view of the castle itself.
David was quite keen to watch Scotland vs. France rugby match on TV with his dad, which gave Maria an "opportunity" to sort the bags out for Glasgow. On the upside, the 'bar' opened early for kickoff but on the downside, Scotland lost the game in the last minute.
