Before returning to Poole we drove into Lymington for lunch. This would probably be our last visit until the autumn to this area.
Mid afternoon we left, we couldn't put off our return home any longer. An evening walk down to Poole Quay, and it felt almost as if we had never been away.
Our whole trip has been a celebration of flora, fauna, wildlife, and the great British weather! As Angela types this last blog of our Scotland trip it is raining. Muddy Marge has served us well over the last ten and a half weeks, only stumbling a couple of times. We have met some great people, witnessed some stunning vistas, tested our resolve with the unrelenting wind, rain and cold. But we're stronger for all our experiences. Back home, our back garden looked like a jungle, and post was piled high in our hallway. There's the reality of returning home. Tomorrow Angela will pay the credit card bill. How much?
For anyone whose interested here are some facts and statistics: The mileage driven was 3479. In Scotland we made twenty two ferry crossings at a total cost of £555.15. Marge's fuel bill was £835.75. We stayed on only nine campsites. We consumed approximately 160 eggs. Ate around 100 bananas, 150 satsumas and 70 portions of porridge. Used around 80 packets of baby wipes, ( sorry babies of Scotland if we and all the other campers left you short). All in all we feel our adventure was good value for money.
It feels strange to be home, and not spending our time in the great outdoors each day. So Angela's booked a couple a nights on an adult campsite near Weymouth for two nights next week for John's birthday. You up for it Marge?
