This was the last photo that we took on our recent trip down south, I haven’t sorted through all the others yet, obviously Jack took it as I’m in it. I’ve got my ‘thumb up’ glad to be back in Scotland. We were on a quiet, small road into Scotland, just at the village of Coldstream, and as you can see there are no flags at this small border crossing, the flags are by the side of the motorway.

Anyway, today David Cameron was in Edinburgh finalising the details of the referendum on Scottish independence. Sixteen and seventeen year olds are going to be allowed to vote in it, that’s a first as eighteen is the normal voting age in Britain, and it’s just going to be a straight yes or no to independence. Some people were hoping there would be a ‘devolution max’ option.

One thing which a lot of people seem to be worried about is whether we would need a passport to travel between Scotland and England. Thankfully the answer to that is NO – and it’s just as well because with the amount of traffic going backwards and forwards between the two countries it would take us forever and a day to make the journey.
