Red-dot Posted May 25, 2017 Report Share Posted May 25, 2017 Up at 3AM and travelled to my latest ground and as day broke i seen a stag and hinds and some roe tiptoeing back into the shadows, cuckoos calling and peregrines picking off a squalking jay. Sunrise to die for casting shadows on the well trodden deer paths. Fresh fox poo indicating a sit out reauired to protect imminent births... what a place, what a country!

saddler Posted May 25, 2017 Report Share Posted May 25, 2017 Would gladly move to Hawick if I could find work I thought being in work in Hawick was seen as showing off? Prefer my area, but spent a lot of time in Coldstream....so love Kelso for trips out & also Duns just over the moors/hills from me. Nip over to Jedburgh a bit too. Berwick you can keep: barking mad the lot of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mice! Posted May 26, 2017 Report Share Posted May 26, 2017 Sadly I eat more seafood now than I did back then? The smokies are nice, pub on the harbour used to do a Viking plater really nice and the weather on the east coast was probably better than here in the northwest.

Berwick you can keep: barking mad the lot of them. Nice area, I used to stalk in between Bonchester bridge and Jedburgh,Swillington forest Full of bloody walkers using the right to roam.

billytheghillie Posted May 26, 2017 Report Share Posted May 26, 2017 Would gladly move to Hawick if I could find work I stayed in Hawick for a long while, back then it was known as "Queen ,O, The Borders" but now, sadly it is badly rundown, even the charity shops are boarded up. I moved 7 miles outside of Kelso to the country side, and its the best thing ive ever done. P.S. what line of work are you looking for?
