Glen Tarras
    
Today, after all the packing and stuff, we did head North, just slightly over the border of England/Scotland. The plan was to stay at this cottage belonging to a family friend, and where me and my family used to stay during my childhood, but where I hadn't been for . . . ooooo, about 20 years? Something like that. Location is a couple miles south of Langholm, along the B6318, at the bottom of a valley where runs Tarras Water. Is this important?

We arrived kind of late afternoon, meeting my parents there, who had been shopping in Carlisle (about thirty minutes drive away). My parents showed us around (although this was more of a reminder for me) and explained the water, electricity, coal, et cetera. As these pictures imply, we went for a walk afterwards, along a path that follows the other side of Tarras Water. |     
And more pictures from our walk, M**** taking the clichéd picture of the thistle. Later on that night, I was amazed by how clear the skies were, the Milky Way being clearly visible. Of course, my ailing camera was completely unable to convey this, as these last two pictures testify. I think that was a 15 second exposure. Note the strange edge of black disc thing, left middle, that had nothing to with anything I was photographing. Is that a word?
