Thursday 20th July 1972 Stobo Peebleshire

Well today’s the last day of our Stobo camping week so we were determined to make the most of it.
Once again it was another absolute stoater of a day with the sunshine blasting down however it’s almost as if we’ve got used to it and I’m as brown as a berry.
We spent much of the day in and out of the water, jumping and diving in as well as swimming and just cooling off.
Later in the day we took the tent down to be prepared for Douglas Blades arriving later in the evening.
I’m not sure what the church will say about the state of the tent. We’ve had a bit of a laugh. When the boys were getting changed the girls would peep in through a small hole in it, then vice-versa with the girls doing the same! It’s been a bit of an ongoing joke but the peep-hole has got bigger ‘n bigger!

Douglas arrived for us quite late on, around ten past nine at night and drove us home to Oxgangs. We stopped off for chips on the way.
It’s very strange being home and back sleeping in a bed.

Before I went I watched a programme on BBC 2 called The Life of Hitler. What a strange contrast after such a lovely week away.
