6/8/07 Day Sixteen. Friday.

The morning was spent doing some laundry, sorting out things to be shipped back home, and just generally kind of getting packed up for our travel day tomorrow. Around noon we got out to the post office and mailed off our extra crap, then back to The Towers for lunch. (Hannah had a hankering for a real hamburger)

After lunch we took a drive up to the Cheviot Hills. Lovely. Absolutely lovely. That's all I can really say about it. Babbling brooks. Amazing colors. Little forests that look like little red riding hood might be wandering through them. Whippy windy little roads all the way. It was a wonderful drive. I think we're all still a bit tired from our Roman Road day, because nobody was too keen on the idea of getting out and walking much. We just stopped here and there and got out and took some pictures, then climbed back in the car. It was a nice relaxing afternoon.

We got home about 4, I think. I went over and settled up with Laura, our landlady. Then we just kind of relaxed for a bit before going out to dinner and a play. Dinner was at The Oaks again. We had heard good things about their "carvery", so we decided to give it a try. I'm glad we did. It was delicious.

The theatre performance was "The Knicker Lady", a one woman humourous talk/show about undergarments throughout history. It was very funny. I think we all enjoyed it.

We're back at the cottage by 10, and I think we're all planning on a fairly early night. Tomorrow we head to Edinburgh, and I think we're all looking forward to that.
