Appreciating the view

Appreciating the view

In the car from Cornhill-on-Tweed
I love driving this piece of road on my way to Kelso. The river view is beautiful.

Dream home beside the Union Chain Bridge
The house I would love to live in is situated on the English side of the Tweed. When stood on the Union Chain Bridge, walking from the Scotland end, the House to the left side of the bridge, painted white.

Revelling in the river at Tweedmouth
I can see the mouth of the Tweed from every window in my house, I cross it several times a day and love living alongside its history.
