Hello Everyone!

Happy New Year!!

For those who don’t already know, the best news is that Mr RR and I have become Nanna and Papa RR whilst we’ve been away!  A gorgeous little boy, born between Christmas and New Year and doing very well on his journey to becoming the Littlest RR.

Littlest RR has, of course, become my favourite subject of conversation but…..on to the walking – of which there has been very little in the last couple of months.  Here I am though, determined to get fit (again) and starting over with the rambles.  I’m not promising any great milage this year – there’s a lot of work to do on our new house and any walking will have to be fitted in around that – but hopefully I’ll be able to inspire you with a few ramblings around The Scottish Borders and Northumberland and later in the year we might be able to go further afield and see more of Scotland.

Kelso – A Short Ramble by the Rivers

Hello again….

I know the walking’s slow around here…..

…but today we took a short walk around town and just a little way along the river accompanied by the younger Mr RR.  You might remember we walked alongside The Teviot back in August (Scotland walks) before the BIG move.  Today we just went to get some fresh air and strolled alongside The Tweed before crossing the bridge and having a quick look at the Teviot again.

I think we’ll be back to do some more walking here very soon and hopefully some rambling further afield as well – just as soon as it gets less busy in the Rickety household!
