We are gradually getting back to fairly regular walks with The Last of the Summer Wine Walkers and this month we headed to Jedburgh for a nice 6 mile walk to Timpendean Tower in the rolling border hills near Jedburgh. The weather was perfect, although very humid but the company was excellent and we had a most enjoyable walk.
The Harvest is almost ready and in this area there is a lot of Barley
Part of the walk took us through a wood and this old drystone dyke had Holly and Heather growing on the top of the dyke. The Heather this year seems to be better than ever.
Another field of Barley with TimpendeanTower sitting in the next field.
Tom, John, and Ken. The crack was good and we took our time as it was very warm and sticky.

Three good friends taken by photographer Tom. He usually tries to get a low profile shot but today if he had got down on his knees he woudn't have been able to get up again.
Social Distancing at its best with Tom sitting on his own tree. The village in the background is Ancrum
The Waterloo Tower in the distance and a walk done by us all a few years ago. We completed the 6 miles in about 3 hours. I had to get home fairly quickly for some work to be done concerning The Buccleuch Centre and the others wanted a Coffee but the only place open had no outside tables available so they made to with cans from a supermarket.
