After our holiday in Rockcliffe it was back to my Thursday walk with Mike and Charlie. Just a 4 mile walk at Canonbie, but an excellent autumnal day and the hedgerows were full of berries.
One of my favourite views of the river Esk at Hollows
This is Pendulous Sedge according to Mike who gives us a lesson in wild flowers every walk.
There was a lot of these berries on our walk. They are Gelder Rose and look splendid and bountiful this year.
Another red berry but this is Honeysuckle and not as bountiful
More Gelder Rose
This seat was placed a few years ago at the bridge over the old railway overlooking what used to be the Rowanburn Coal Mine. I think it was made and placed their by Tony Mattinson so we are very grateful as it is indeed the Best Seat and View Around.
Hawthorn berries in profusion
More Hawthorn
These are Slows and we have never seen them as plentiful as this year. Gin lovers will be delighted.
A lovely walk and even better conversation today so it was a real treat to be out in such lovely countryside. We finished our walk with our usual coffee's at The Buccleuch Centre and were served by Jessica as soon as we walked in the door without even having to tell her what we wanted.
