Weather still dreech but there was a warm welcome at "Souter Johnnie's", the latest addition to the Costley restaurant empire. Souter Johnnie was a drinking buddy of Rabbie's but this 21st century hostelery was an altogether more sedate affair. As with his other places the decor while a bit touristy was well done and not in the least bit tacky. What's more we ate well. Here, in Kirkoswald Bill Costley has created a little Burns enclave with thatched rooves over the restaurant, tearoom, deli, gift shop and chocolaterie. However, despite all this and two days in Burns country, I've still not managed to find some decent postcards.
