Easter Sunday with Hannah

We spent Easter Sunday in Newcastle visiting Hannah, Fiona & Mario, and of course to meet up with Han & Jo (Hannah's Opa & Oma) from Holland. Unfortunately the weather was awful so we never got a nice walk, but did have a wonderful lunch and Hannah entertained us with her new singing talents.

Selkirk to Hawick Walk

Martins Dinner

Martin's 65th Birthday Walk

Martin is 65 this week and we completed another leg of the Border Abbeys Way from Selkirk to Hawick a distance of 12 miles plus another 2 for the times we got lost. Although it is called the Border Abbeys Way you would be hard pushed to find an Abbey in Hawick.

We lunched at the Woll Golf Club in Ashkirk and arrived in Hawick at 4.30pm after a most enjoyable days walking.

Hannah staying in Langholm without Mummy & Papa

Hannah is in Langholm today while Mummy and Papa are still in Newcastle and what fun she has had today with Granny and Granddad. We visited Langholm Initiative offices in the morning and then went to feed the ducks on the Kilngreen and finished up having coffee at Jean's. In the afternoon we went shopping and then went to the park where Hannah had great fun on the swings. She has been a smashing little girl and a pleasure to have staying on her own.

Monday Walk

Since my semi retirement and Tom's full retirement we are trying to get a walk in every Monday and today Tom and I walked from Brydekirk to Annan and back along the banks of the river Annan a distance of 6 miles. Tom always carries a bag of pandrops and every horse or pony we meet seems to know this and they follow him until the pandrop is handed over.
