Can each day be headlined by a word (or two) and represented by a single sentence?

Will they, in turn, weave together to form a tapestry of the year?

It may be more mundane than momentous, but it’s mine to share.

Floors Castle

A short drive from Mellerstain to Kelso, and Floors Castle, home of the Duke of Roxburgh, but this wasn’t a social visit but a tourist trip to walk the grounds and gardens of this fine, old, but lived-in stately home; the two-mile walk incorporated the banks of the Tweed with fine views of the town, the walled gardens and of course the terrace café for the daily fix of coffee and, today ‘castle-baked’, scones.
