Will write more about this in due course, but have piled up the miles in the last couple of days. From Norwich to Abington via Caddington and St Albans was 472 miles; a further 154 brought us to Ballater today. Since arriving we have driven up into the hills and down to Corgarff, then later by the back road to Balmoral. After all that, and with the house a little chilly because it’s rarely occupied, we decided on an early night.
