Past Annan

Today was one of those cold-hot days, with sunny periods and a brisk unhelpful wind. Such days are often quite hard for the walker. The traffic on the straight sections of the B road was also unhelpful. But Janet made it through Annan and out the other side, heading towards the valley of the Nith as a route north westwards. Some of the local footpaths were flooded, although this part of the island didn’t see the worst of the recent rains.

Yesterday, in the car, we made a brief visit to Robert the Bruce’s cave….

Supposedly a spider taught him the value of perseverance. And this cave is one of several that lay claim to be the site of this revelation. Anyway, maybe perseverance is overrated – for instance some churches may have to find new cultural forms in which to live as the “body of Christ”, rather than doing the same old thing all the time.
