Kathleen’s breakfast was one of the best I’d been offered during my trip, but for some reason I wasn’t able to finish it, feeling slightly queasy at some point, so much so that I took a couple of paracetomal to see if that would help. I’ve no idea what was causing it, and once home also had a few bouts of it. It was possibly due to the food at the Border Inn, but more likely just the sign of the exhaustion I was feeling after my battle with the weather across the Cheviots.
Saying my goodbyes, and having had directions from Kathleen to help me change buses in Kelso, I caught the bus from KY to Kelso, which left bang on time at 0920. I knew once I arrived in Kelso I’d only have 5 minutes to get myself to the bus for Berwick-upon-Tweed, where I was to catch the train to Worthing. If I missed it I had an alternative, but it required 2 buses and a circuitous route, so I was mightily relieved when the bus dropped me in Kelso slightly early and Kathleen’s directions proved spot on.
The train journey proved uneventful, apart from a delay while on the tube between stations in London, and I was reunited with my wife and daughter bang on time on Saturday evening, my lifelong ambition over!
