A Wee Trip

I'm off shortly to see a girlfriend who lives in Scotland, we haven't seen each other since Covid. So we are both looking forward to it. I am travelling by train rather than flying. It will be a bit of a journey but only one change. I avoid flying now as much as possible. I don't enjoy any aspect of it. Anyhoo, I have purchased a nice small rucksack to keep my book, mags, water etc in for the train journey. I have been on the hunt for a nice one for a while. I didn't want a designer one because I think they can often be targeted for their value by unscrupulous folk. I'm super pleased with the one I found through a feature in Country Living magazine.
Hand made by Charlotte Macey, it came beautifully wrapped with a lovely card. How nice to deal direct with a maker.
