We headed up to Tweedbank to meet up with our Edinburgh friends and also John and Sandria who were arriving from Dunbar. It all went to plan with Ken and Martin on time on the train and John and Sandria arrived just as the train drew in. The plan was to walk to the centre of Melrose for lunch via the River Tweed. It was a glorious day with not a cloud in the sky. Photo above is Tom showing off his potential new car.
When we left the Tweed we passed by Melrose rugby ground.
The river was looking magnificent today
Jeremy Clarkson was in the Scottish Borders recently and he suggested that this area of Scotland was the most beautiful part of the UK. Who would argue against him when you look down the river Tweed.

This time it was me taking the photo with Tom in it. We had a superb day with a lovely lunch in Marmions in Melrose. The food was excellent and well served by a charming lady. We walked back to Tweedbank station via the road which was not as enjoyable as the river as by this time it had got very hot.
