........ but not to get married! Rather, we went out for the day in Malcolm's spiffy new car!
to get there, we had to leave Roxburghshire and cross into Dumfries and Galloway
passing lots of sheep enjoying the better weather
we then crossed the Border into England
before crossing back into Scotland!
we went to Gretna Gateway Outlet Village for a little it of retail therapy. I got a nice pair of summer shoes ....... but I forgot to take a photo of them! I can't show you the other thing I bought, as it is for a birthday present. We sat outside in the sun to have lunch, which came from here ........
....... because we had a voucher for a bogof on a 6" sub. It tasted much better than it looks in the photo - pulled pork with lots of salad
the sun was still shining on the way home
back home in the garden, the osteospermum flowers were turning to the sun
and the poppies are ready to flower
to finish, a male sparrow, enjoying the early morning sun in the front garden
