Scottish Invasion : VBCW

Panting and out of breath Private Jackson stumbled across the railway bridge. He knew that Major Montgomery would likely be exercising his horse at this time in the morning in the small village of Glasson. The mist was just lifting off the Solway coast and the Private had been on his normal early morning patrol of this section of the North Cumberland Coast. It was rare to see anybody on the coast road even on a fine morning like today, but he had been warned that you never knew when those Royalist scum might might try something funny from up the coast at Carlisle. But that wasn’t why he was running.....it was the Bloody Scots who were coming across the Solway, hundreds of them in boats. “Stand to man” shouted the Major bringing Private Jackson back to life, he could barely speak, exhausted from the 2 mile run, all he could do was point and mumble the Scots, the Scots....... never one to get flustered Montgomery shouted to his batman “get in that phone box Smith and warn the Colonel, we have an invasion on our hands”

It’s the Scots Major the bloody Scots.........

Weather depending we’ll find out what happens tomorrow 🙂
