dulemba: Day 5 in Scotland: Farmer's Markets and Tapestries

Day 5 in Scotland: The Stockbridge Farmer's Market, a Scottish Breakfast in Gali and The Great Tapestry of Scotland in Galashiels: https://www.greattapestryofscotland.com.
This day was all about hanging out with Max and Alex. We began the day with a tradition - the Stockbridge Farmer's Market... it sets up every weekend and is a sight to see (and a darned good place to eat if you don't mind waiting in line.) There are yummies everywhere, like pastries...

and pastas...

It's really hard to explain a Scotch Egg without seeing one!

But the main attraction at the Stockbridge Farmer's Market is the Paella stand!

I mean, have you ever seen a Paella like this!?

Believe it or not, we didn't partake, we were off to Galashiels and the Great Tapestry of Scotland!

Murals are a thing here too! (I think this is Sir Walter Scott - but someone please correct me if I have it wrong!)

And while we did stop for a proper English breakfast, I neglected to capture a photo of it's gloriousness. Although, I did get a snapshot of the fun walls of the cafe!

Here are Max and Alex, my lovely hosts for the day...

Off to the museum!
