Every so often I come back in to check what is going on Blogger and the statistics.
A friend frightened me years ago- telling me not to do blogs because malevolent people would be tracking me via this blog- and trying to find out where I live- so I stopped writing; I miss telling you about places- I know my area is gaining increasing numbers of tourists-well of course- because it is such a beautiful and interesting area! When an area is in the Marches- border country- it is a war zone- everyone wants to add it to their country; human greed causes such problems. Thus our area is filled with castles to defend from the incomers over the Border...plus clans/tribes/families from either and both sides of the Border want to steal each others land/animals/women (to enslave)- in the North these families are known as the Reivers and the family names are still in existence today, though the Armstrongs, Pringles, Redpaths, Herons etc no longer thieve and fight!
