Wonder of wonders...good cycling weather two days in a row!!
Today we went by bike to Mauchline to post orders and other post, and to treat ourselves to takeaway/carry-out coffee and chocolate at the Mossgiel Snug.
This is run by the farmer who farms where Rabbie Burns farmed in the 1780s!
I buy my milk for yoghurt making from there and sourdough bread....but today they had sold it all!! Incentive to get baking again.
This was the first home of Burns and his wife Jean Armour.
A few of the back streets from their time in the town have been preserved. Normally some of the houses and shops are open a few days a week, run by the local Burns Society,but not at present of course.
What a lovely looking town.
ReplyDeleteDo cars drive on that paved section?
ReplyDeleteJoanne yes, it is one way from the cobblestone/pavé end and I think that there is a weight limit. It would be mainly residents too.
ReplyDeleteDid you see any wee tim'rous beasties lurking about?
ReplyDeleteNo Steve...but the poem To a Mouse was written at Mossgiel Farm just outside Mauchline
ReplyDeleteSpeechless with wonder.
