We acquired this steel woodpecker 4 years ago (or maybe 5) at Ancrum. It occupies a half trunk alongside the Borders Abbey Way which runs through our ‘garden’ (wild wild woods). It has weathered very nicely on both sides and is frequently commented on - which is probably because while we have two pairs of woodies in the woods, they are easy to hear and difficult to see.
@thebaywindowgirl Good walking - pretty gentle and a lot of it follows rivers. Lots of decent places for a tea, coffee, cake or lunch on the way as well and public transport is decent in The Borders (obviously there are spaces for improvement :-)
@thebaywindowgirl Not a bad idea, an alternative is to park in St Boswells and walk down to Jedburgh and a bus back. Main Street Trading makes a great place to stop in St Boswells and the Naked Sourdough as good but different in Jed.
