50 Ayrshire Federation ladies and friends journeyed south for a four day trip, staying in Newcastle. Day 2 took us to Anwick Castle and Gardens, followed on the 3rd day with a river cruise in Durham, Durham Castle and time for some retail therapy. This was followed with a stop off at the Angel of the North. After much fun, friendship, chat and laughter we headed home through the borders, having stopped at Carter Bar, to enjoy the view, and a couple of hours in Peebles. The excursion was rounded off with a meal at the Park Hotel, Kilmarnock and home with lots of memories and stories made with friends, old and new. Confirming what SWI is really all about !
