March 12th - River Teviot

Another manic Monday at work. Lovely and sunny outside, with a brisk breeze. Had to drop a load at the post office in Kelso before closing-time, so took my kit and had a run along the Teviot. Quite a revelation. Lovely riparian path out to Roxburgh, and a huge viaduct carrying the disused railway (a victim of Dr. Beeching’s axe in the 60s) to the opposite bank. On the way back the sun dipped below the clouds and sat just above the horizon, casting a beautiful golden glow over everything, and picking out the remaining snowdrops and the early daffodils, whose leaves were the most amazing irredescent green. Brief light shower which added a vivid rainbow to a lovely tableau. A real unexpected gift of a run, which I started with no expectations other than continuing the sequence. Such are the ephemeral and serendipitous delights of the One Pound Challenge!
