Day 1897 Roadtrip to Cardoness on the South coast of Scotland

What a wonderful day.

It’s been hot all day.

Roughly 21°C which is hot for Scotland and I’ve been watching the weather all week.

I am staying in Newton Campsite and my tent is literally a stones throw from the beach.

I’ve had my eye on this campsite for a while. I’m sure I met someone who camped here all summer with her kids…. It’s very close to where Craig was a few weekends ago.

The campsite is literally just a field at the beach.

It’s stunning.

It’s also very peaceful.

This is the view from my tent!

This is my set up! There are no toilets or showers on this campsite so I have my own toilet tent!

As soon as I was set up I headed down to the beach for a walk.

I paddled right out into the sea. It’s very shallow and it took forever for the tide to come in.

There are lots of sand banks. Some of the sand is very soft and white, some is course and sharp and some is very muddy!

Lovely reflections for my friend Helen!

Stunning landscape.

Lots of shells under the water in some places.

This is how close I am to the beach!!

And relax. A wee sit down and some crochet.

I watched lots of women head into the sea and I felt safe enough to join them. I was desperate to go in but didn’t want to do it on my own.

Off in I go!

2 border collies playing around. One of them is called Broch!

It was perfection….. warm on top, cold underneath.

Went out so far and got chatting to the lovely ladies.

It’s stunning with the tide in.

I’ve shown the lady in the next van, how to crochet a granny square after we swam together. The Hookers will be so proud.

So I’m picking the crochet back up now.

I have had the loveliest day.

My head is so calm.

I am excited about sleeping in my cute, cosy tent.

I love this.

I must look a right weirdo sitting here on my own crocheting but I don’t care.

I am happy.

Stay safe everyone ☀️☀️☀️
