I imagine she's been training hard and is looking forward to pleasing her master. And carrying bags obviously.
Another foray into Europe on many wheels!

Scene of my one and only attack from HMPolis for drinking under the age of 18.
Knowing you as I do, I would guess that the occasion was your 14th birthday?
Correct. But I was old for my age, or so I thought.
Even room for culture and enlightenment in Rose Street..
Early start is no hardship..showered and back over to Waverley..4 minute walk..

Onto the smart LNER Azuma, waiting to whisk us briskly south..
Actually quite impressed with the hotel, clearly a budget hotel, but perfectly good for a nights kip and right opposite the station.
Booking.com strikes again! 160 quid doesn't get much nowadays, but comfy, warm, good bed, good shower, very quiet, perfect just for the one night.
Handy for good grub too!
Allegedly get free(?) grub on the journey, but did get supplies from Pret...but what's this arrived...

My parents were at Uni in Edinburgh and said Rose street used to be all pubs and the challenge was to have a half in every pub and not many could do it
First things first..
Wowzer!
Over the border and into injun country..Tweed..
I have to wear tweed?
Happy to do so if it helps me over the border
The convention amongst fisher folk is that you never call it the River Tweed, or 'the' Tweed...always just Tweed...no idea how that came about.

And on over Tyne...I've just started a new convention.
Through a very wet Doncaster.
Every field has a loch.
This must be a worry for Doncaster folk, as I happen to know that Doncaster folk have subterranean cellars in which they hide their whisky in case of thirsty travellers; these cellars must fill up in times of flood and put their hidden secret whisky stache in grave peril..

Nice, but that isn’t even half a ‘full English/scottish’
Through Hertfordshire...my old stamping ground and towards King's Cross...pa worked for the railway so we were always backwards and forwards.
Past the spot where I dealt with a flattened trespasser on the line..I didn't want to risk the probationer so I let him deal with the body while I dealt with the risky business of directing traffic..
This is a great way to cover the miles, and cheap..£164 for both of us ...old person card...and included breakfast and continual tea..and into KX...

Risking the probationer! 
5 minute amble in the drizzle across to see our old chum...
Did you know the fold in his billowing coat was designed to mirror the curves of the train shed roof?
Plenty of time for people watching and window shopping here..
There some very odd folk about...
Place was full of foreigners...
