30 mile drive today across to Duns in Berwickshire last Sunday with G in the Jeep, after a coffee and cake we drove to see John to see his Ww2 Ford GPW Jeep he has lovingly restored, the chassis complete we saw some of the accessories he has
How about this for some history?, signed canvas seats by members of the 506th 101st US Airborne still alive after the famous and excellent Band Of Brothers mini series was released,
These are the signatures of some of the the very men that served in Easy Company...
Looking forward to seeing John driving his Jeep when it is finished, it will be a real special Jeep...
We were soon back out across the Berwickshire country roads in our old `Hotchpotch` Jeep - that's what Chris and I call our French/USA/Willys/Ford Jeeps!, and we were soon to pull in at a small bridge on a country road, a rather fascinating little bridge as underneath it has a building that was once used as a prison cell - or Goal as they are often called in Scotland...
Onwards and across to Ellemford Bridge where we parked up and got the stove on for a coffee,
It was boiling hot as we sat at the riverside so G decided to go for a clothed swim lol!
Once she had drip dried a bit we continued across to the Whiteadder Reservoir and across the county border back into East Lothian...
We could see the dull grey Sea Hair down along the coast back at Dunbar 15 miles away from up here so we were in no rush to leave the sunshine up here so down at Gifford village we stopped for ice creams and sat and baked in the sun for a while...
Heading for home we took the winding Hillfoots road back to Dunbar and the Sea Hair offshore was cooling the air, but what a fun day out in the Jeep and we drove approx 70 - 80 miles!
Here is some film of a fun day out Jeeping...
More soon...
