Coming back from Peebles and more precisely on the Earlton to Greenlaw Super Highway I could not help remembering the tea towel I saw somewhere with the Olde Borders 'B Road' Blessing inscribed on it: (something like this)
'May the Road rise with thee.
May the corners straighten afore thee
May the traffic be against thee
May the Caravans have stopped for tea.
May the Tractors be in fields.
May the Lorries be on the A1
And May ye be in the tavern
(with the mobile not on)
Before the wife knows you've gone'Some rather poor imitations in Gaaelic Letters in Irish Souvenir Shops circa 1960s. But the Hutton Think Tank (Keep The 'B' in Berwickshire section) got there first.
