Fancy you making a detour through Penrith - the home of the Burrells. I wonder whether you'll go through Eccelfechan today (the Fleming connection!). Hope the weather's better today. I must say that you're being very stoic in your blog - the journey doesn't sound nearly as awful as that related to me on the phone last night! Hope your clothes managed to dry out and the bottom butter's working! Keep smiling!
