I do hope you all had a good weekend and got to enjoy the sunshine before this wind and rain appeared again? We did! Off we went in the caravan for its first outing of the year! We had a blast!

What a view we had at Castle Point Rockcliffe

Yeah little me wrapped up in 4 layers lol

I even mangaed to finish my wee minion "Dave" that will live in the caravan

The site was stunning and had lots of nice walks for us, plus just 20 odd mile from Dumfries! Just what we needed for the first break of the year lol! The owner was so lovely, such a nice wee lady so helpful and couldn't do enough for you!
