A Big Weekend Ahead

This weekend we have booked a rental car. We've not managed to see much of the borders region (down south, where Scotland meets England), apart from our day trips to Peebles and Berwick Upon Tweed, so wanted to head that way. And with Dad here, we had no excuses not to go!

We picked up the car from Edinburgh Airport on Friday night. An uneventful affair, we met at Toby Carvery for dinner before jumping on the airport bus to get the car. Once we did the paperwork, we went and found our car, a Vauxhall Astra 4 door petrol. An OK car, but in hindsight not an economical one. We all jumped in the car, and before I could turn the ignition Dad jumped out again, as two Tornados flew overhead at low altitude, and straight across the runway. Very cool!

While we had the car, we popped into Helen's work to get some boxes to take home, these we can use for packing belongings to be returned to New Zealand.
