What I saw during my walk today

[Omega]

I didn't take any photos on my walk today - but it is worthy of note...

After my normal daily walk it was sunny so we decided to take advantage of it and went out for the day. We used our HHA cards for the first time this year. We are members of HHA so we do not have to pay on entry to a lot of Historical Houses... We drove up to Kelso which is across the Scottish border 70 miles from our home and went walking in the grounds of Floors Castle.
Country Estate | Visitor Attraction | Corporate Venue - Floors Castle
It was well organised - we had to book online so they could ensure that there were not too many people there. Everyone kept their distance and all in all we were really pleased that we went.

"Scotland’s Largest Inhabited Castle"

who lives there? ... the Floors?

looking at the website... if you don't mind me saying.... OMG !! ... how could you not have taken a picture??

LOL I've been there tons of times... You get used to things with familiarity... My husband used to drive us there often when he was allowed to drive.
Its the first time I've driven there though... Its the furthest north that I have driven as I only started driving this summer.

... i don't think they put anything other than cereal in the box anymore anyway.

This is the trail alongside the local river, I am yet to spot a Mary River Turtle to photograph.

how amazing is the internet...

Lady Mary FitzRoy ... a slightly tragic story.

how on earth are people having a problem with home schooling?
almost every day i seem to learn something new without ever leaving home.
of course i forget most of it in a few days, but.... damn.

Did the slowest and shortest walk ever today. I stayed within sight of home the whole time but walked some places I had not been before. Walking slow let me get lots of pictures. Things I had not noticed before, surprising what is out there so close to home.

The neighbors' yard art. Until recently all of this was farm land, much of this old equipment was just sitting around, people turned it into decoration.


The red roof house in the background is mine.




Pumpkins in the neighbor's field and a few others

The fields with the hills in the background are gorgeous. The one before that is giving me horror movie vibes: the calm before the storm.

city version of a pumpkin patch...
