Outing to the Borders show at Kelso on 27 July


Fifty five of us set off on sunny Friday 27th July to visit the Borders show at Kelso.

Our first stop was at Carfraemill for tea or coffee and scones, very enjoyable. Joan passed out all the tickets and we then headed to Kelso and the show.

We had loads of time to wander around and to sample the many "freebies" available. Word has it that the gin and cheese stalls were well supported!! There was plenty to see and do. Some of us managed to sit in the sun whilst watching the show jumping. It was such a beautiful day and a very worthwhile visit.


After the show we headed to the Kingsknowes Hotel in Galashiels for a lovely high tea, despite the excessive heat in the restaurant, think we picked one of the hottest days of our summer. Everyone was happy to make our way home in our lovely air conditioned coach.
