Driving!
We ended up in Bishop Auckland last night (Saturday) and the table was set this morning for our cooked breakfast before we headed off for Scotland.
I'm driving! Well, so is Kate... but I'M DRIVING! On A roads and B roads and M roads, on the other side of the road, on roads with many, many roundabouts, on roads where chickens and sheep may also share the road, on roads that are more like a paved wide path! Not only that, I've been driving down those roads on the other side of the car! There is nothing quite like it.
We drove north and north-west through England today and said "Hello" to Scotland!
After a quick dash to the shore and a few minutes to explore, we found ourselves some dinner and then said "Good night" to Scotland, too. Tomorrow's another day!

It looks breathtaking!

How lucky we are to have you share your trip with us! Wonderful photos!
Hokey Pete! Driving on the other side of the road, from the other side of the vehicle. Cross that off your "bucket list." At least the signs are in English...

Beautiful scenery! I am enjoying experiencing your trip...
You are brave to drive in England...When there, my husband drives because he used to live over there when he was in high school.
