Tayport

 Wednesday 11th September. Day 25

We woke to sunny skies and decided to explore Tayport our nearest town. We set off on foot with Dex. 





We walked along the coast path towards the harbour.



We saw a lot of redstarts feeding on the shoreline, easily identified by their orange red legs.


There was also an Oyster Catcher.





Tayport has so much interesting history and we saw lots of information boards as we walked around the town.






There was an old harbour as well as the larger newer one.










Whilst we were looking to see the way into the town centre we met a man jogging who directed us to his wife’s cafe which was dog friendly. We headed off to find it. It was brilliant! They were so friendly and welcoming and the food was all made on the premises and absolutely delicious 😋 



John had a pork and black pudding sausage roll with coleslaw and potato salad.


I had a fabulous spinach, wild mushroom and Brie quiche.

They made Dex a puppachino! Basically squirty cream and a couple of dog treats. He was very happy. They also brought him a bowl of water. Everyone was so friendly and chatty in the cafe. We have found that people in Scotland are really friendly and welcoming and like to chat. Especially when you have a dog!

The cakes and brownies were amazing and we bought some to take away. 







The school.



War memorial.




The library.





In the evening we went to Cobbies Inn which had been recommended to us by the campsite warden Bob. 





It didn’t disappoint! John had a wonderful steak pie and mash.


I had smoked cod and chorizo linguine which was delicious. 😋 


Followed by sticky toffee pudding and ice cream!


John had warm chocolate fudge cake and ice cream. 
Good job we were walking home!! 🤣🤣

 Sunday 18th August and Monday 19th August Days 1 & 2. Pleased to report we are starting the next part of our Scottish tour 😍 John is much better and Tekki has had a new clutch fitted and new brakes so we are good to go! Our first night was at a site just outside Stafford. Very quiet and good for an overnight stay.  The boys were happy watching the cricket 🤣 On Monday we set off to Penrith and found a site near a lovely village called Kirkoswald.  The site was at Mains farm. It was a lovely location and had an honesty shop which was great.  The facilities weren’t so great 🤣 We decided to walk Dex into the village about a mile away. The village was lovely with lots of lovely old buildings. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kirkoswald,_South_Ayrshire We found a pub open, the Fetherston Arms. Stopped for a quick pint and a chat with the locals who were really friendly and welcoming. Dex met a young cockerpoo called Lola. Afterwards we walked back and I made chicken...

Ullapool

 Day 29 Tuesday 14th May John’s hip was still really hurting and he was struggling so much I decided to try and get him seen by a doctor. I was really lucky and he got an appointment for 10am so we drove into Ullapool.  On the way we could see the tall ship in the harbour. Next to the medical practice was the Highland Stone pottery shop so I popped in for a look around whilst John was seeing the doctor. So unfortunately John has trapped his sciatic nerve and also has lumbago as his back keeps going into spasms due to the pain. He will need physio and it will take time so we are going to slowly head home. Inverness for 2 nights then a few stop offs on the way back. We can start again once he’s fully recovered. It’s a real shame but at least we have a diagnosis now and it’s silly carrying on when he’s in so much pain.  We headed into Ullapool and went for a slap up seafood lunch at the Seaforth restaurant. It was delicious 😋  I had scallops to start and John had Culle...
