On the way - second and third days

Another day of sunshine and showers - with far more of the former than the latter, we have been most lucky with the weather, despite dire warnings of extremely heavy showers.  Already in Cumbria we decided to explore the coast, starting with the Solway Firth, the border between England and Scotland.  It was a delightful drive, much more interesting than simply the flat land indicated on the map.
The longest stop we made was at Maryport where we enjoyed watching fishermen unloading their catch.
On the next day we crossed the border, and once more the weather was astonishingly warm and sunny in between the clouds.  I just love the colours of the countryside here.

I'm enjoying your travelogue and photos, glad to hear that the weather is treating you kindly. Like you, we love car trips, making the journey as important as the destination. Looking forward to more....
