Bren had a singing gig up at Paxton House, near Berwick upon Tweed, so I took the role of roadie for the trip and off we set through the beautiful Northumbrian countryside. In a little over an hour I had deposited Bren at the venue and me and Gracie set off for a lovely walk through the woods that led down to the river.
What a beautifully quiet and peaceful spot... apart from the occasional blast of the locals discharging their shotguns at the local wildlife!... and a bend in the river revealed that we weren't too far off the famous local landmark Union Chain Bridge.
Bren and me had stayed in a cottage along this stretch of the river some years ago. These cottages were used for years by the salmon fisherman for which the Tweed is mostly famous.Gracie loved all the smells in the nooks and crannies as we walked through the woods, and also stopped to admire the architecture from time to time.
Lovely signs appeared along the path to give an exciting indication that Spring is not too far away!
