A
warm and sunny day in the Borders so we visited the town of Hawick in the morning,
enjoying coffee and cakes after wandering the length of the High Street, window
shopping and looking at the new Statue for Hawick - commemorating the 500 years
since a group of local lads saw off some English raiders and brought back their
flag (scant revenge for the disaster at nearby Flodden the year before); for
the afternoon we moved on to the countryside at Harestones where we combined a
few colour-coded paths to provide a three mile stroll through woods, fields and
riverbank, finishing off with some ice creams at the visitor centre.
