April sunshine
Opening again after the winter, dry and sunny weather, gorse out in bloom

Autumn now turning to winter, glorious sunshine and heavy rains, the Shepherd’s Show and sea foam.
Fruits and flowers in late summer
Not perhaps the driest of summers this year but lots of fruit ripening, plus dahlias, B&B breakfast choices and recent walks.
Sunshine and showers… but mostly showers
July’s been a rather wet month this year and everything is growing like mad, plus the Kelso Laddie Ride to Yetholm.
