This tale came to me as I sat in our hotel room in Melrose (the gem of Scottish Borders towns) on Monday 1st April, 2024.
In my normal routine I was up, toileted, showered and shaved, sitting in near darkness with a mug of coffee to hand, tapping on my iPad.
Nearby, my princess was still fast asleep.
The delight of a Full Scottish breakfast would follow, available from 8:00 am.
Outside, I could hear the dawn chorus in full voice.
As explained in the tag, this piece wrote itself, a story for adults and older children.
Hopefully you will give it a go and find something of interest in it.
