Kirkcudbright - a run ashore

I feel sorry for Friday. 
Thursday was the hottest day in Kirkcudbright since 1893.
Friday was the hottest day since Thursday.

Kirkcudbright is a fine Scottish town with a strong tradition of the visual art and particularly painting, for which the artists colony was well known. Perfect to explore with our old art school chum.
Also turns out to have a number of very well appointed hostelries.

The kit bag scene again - how to manage the manifest

It is literally impossible to walk by and hasn't failed us so far.
