We woke up in the grandly titled but dilapidated Baronial Hall at Bonaly after a fairly good night's sleep and had rolls with bacon and sausage for breakfast. The pupils got packed up efficiently and soon we set off on our second day's walk back to Thriepmuir via Harlaw Reservoir. Beautiful weather again and I thoroughly enjoyed the walk and the views. James went off to do his own walk again today from Thriepmuir to Spittal Hill and back via Cock Rigg. We had lunch in the sunshine in the garden of the visitor centre at Harlaw and said our goodbyes at Thriepmuir before heading home mid afternoon.
However as the day went on I became plagued by sneezing and coughing. It just got worse and worse! Luckily I had plenty of paper hankies but I don't know where this rampant affliction came from! Either it is a very sudden cold or perhaps hay fever (which does not normally affect me); whichever it is has made me feel as if my nose has swollen to gigantic proportions and it's completely blocked. When I got home I spent the rest of the afternoon reading in the hammock and I'm now going to see if I have some Vic's menthol crystals to put in my bath.
Despite this it has been a fantastic weekend.
