Good to read your posts BuckyE, the forum seemed to spring to life - how appropriate at the vernal equinox.
Your Scotland trip sounded panoramic though however wonderful those trips are, they are tiring - if I remember correctly you must have flown in from America (I met you and your wife briefly outside the Red Lion in 2007).
It was good to see Peebles mentioned - I spent a day there during my very first visit to the lowlands of Scotland. It was the first time I saw the fast flowing, crystal clear River Tweed and the lovely little town beside it. I bought my favourite jumper there which oddly enough is a colour described as 'fossil' (thats me).
