5:00 a.m. Cab due in 20 minutes. Dressed, bed changed, windows & doors checked, appliances off. This is it. Just to be contrary, Lanarkshire has decided to be absolutely beautiful weather-wise this week (well, the locals keep complaining about how cold it is – one degree above zero – wusses) – it has been sunny, cold, crisp, no wind. I had thought leaving in November would be easier, meteorologically speaking.
I’m sad to leave – but I am looking forward to getting home. My sisters have texted me a bon voyage.
Time for one last check before dragging the cases as close to the front hall as possible. I have a baggage allowance of 69kg in three bags – I’ve come in over by 2 kilos (here’s hoping).
Bye, Scotland!
