As I mentioned, we arrived at 7pm to be greeted by the owner. A very nice chap, who seemed to like Rufus which was a good sign, as he was jumping on every single sofa and the bed as he showed us each room.
The garden is amazing, with a long lawn down to the river. Rufus loves it, but is far too tired to make good use of it by the time I bring him home. The front garden is pretty amazin
g too, as this is the series of locks for the Caledonian Canal representing the midway point in the Coast to Coast walk.
I went for a pint in one of the local pubs lining the canal. I think they don't like the English here. I asked for apint and a coffee, and then was told off for taking a glass over to the pub table outside. I am not sure if I looked like I was about to get into a fight with a local, but was allowed through gritted teeth to proceed to my table. I hope I engratiated myself by returning my empty glass later. I need to keep in with the locals as I will be passing through on day and will be in need of another pint!
Tomorrow will be the off, so I need to get off for a good sleep.
See ya. x
