Sounds beautiful, Tam. Hope you have a lovely time...

I came bottom in geography, a very long time ago, as me and maps don't mix, but...if you're anywhere near Newton Stewart during your holiday...pop in and see some fellow Mudcatters and Folkies, Jan and Chris, who run The Cafe Cree there. They'd LOVE to meet you..and their food is out of this world!   

They were regional finalists in Gary Rhodes 'Local Food Heroes' this year...All their food is locally sourced and produced, and you'll be sure of a very entertaining afternoon, because Jan will have you laughing the entire time you're there. She's such a wonderful person, so funny..very warm...and Chris cooks like an absolute dream.

All that AND they play folk music in the cafe too!

Anyway...just in case you're oop that way...
