Andrew Motion visits The Walls

We are now at the start of our second summer season and things are really hotting up, even the weather! Bookings are coming in thick and fast so if you are planning to stay with us, the sooner you make your enquiry the better on thewallsberwick.com
This month it was our very great privilege to have the outgoing Poet Laureate Andrew Motion with us. He was giving a reading of his work at The Maltings as part of the Spoken Word Festival. Now we can't claim to be poetry buffs but we were genuinely moved by his words and he was a charming gentleman to meet.
Outside on the River Tweed we see that the Mute Swans are increasing their numbers slowly toward the usual 400. The Salmon must be running because the seals are queueing up outside to feast upon them, and the trout are jumping for fly. The otters haven't been seen for a month or so but we believe they are still around and healthy.

Hope to see you soon

Eric and Suzanne
