Today we took a break from the renovations and headed out to ride the Innerleithen Traquair XC route.

With all the DIY at innerhaven this was the first time we had been out biking since Hogmany – it was a lung buster! When we reached the top (well almost, we took a short cut to avoid the last climb) I was really looking forward to the descent. I was so excited I thought I could attempt a two foot drop and unfortunately landed on my front wheel, bounced and went right over the handle bars. After recovering from the first fall I fell again on Caddon Bank!
So I am sitting here, all bashed and bruised with a nice mug of camomile tea thinking about menus for our guests…what would make a tasty homemade goody to provide to guests when they arrive? Scones, muffins, chocolate cake???
