Wending our way home...

After morning coffee in Edinburgh with our son, we set off to wend our way home. Our first stop was Eyemouth for lunch (delicious quiche and salad), then we retraced our steps slightly to St Abbs Head where there's a National Trust Nature Reserve with lovely walks with which we filled the afternoon. The main blip shows the village of St Abbs as we looked back on the village from an elevated vantage point.

The first extra shows a rock face which looks as if it has a real face! (Yes, we like pareidolia.) My Editor suggested that maybe it was literally "St Abbs' Head!! The second extra is a row of shags on a rock by the beach (at least we're pretty sure they're shags, not cormorants, but we're not all that good at avian identification so please correct me if we're wrong).

After our walk we popped into Eyemouth again to take some shots of the harbour in the lovely evening light (3rd extra).

We decided to treat ourselves to fish & chips on the way home from Eyemouth. We'd planned to stop at Seahouses but the queues at the chippies were enormous...as they were at Craster too. (Staycations are clearly doing good for the local tourist trade.) We finally got our meal at Amble with only about a 10 minute wait.

All in all, a really lovely day.
