After three weeks (!) of Harvest Celebrations, Cheviot Churchs celebrated with a joint service in Yetholm kirk, followed by a Harvest lunch. Many thanks to all those who provided and served the food - and, of course, to our minister who led the various worship services. Colin is about the leave for a week in Egypt - time to gather breath before we approach Christmas ...

Seven people and two dogs set off from the ‘Sweet Pea Kirk’ in Sprouston for this year’s walk and made their way along the Tweed on a pleasant autumn day, enjoying the views of anglers in the river, as well as swans. Two of the group chose to walk the shorter distance, while the rest continues to follow the river to the border before joining the old railway line at Nottylees. Well before that happened, however, the heavens opened, and it rained relentlessly. The old railway provided some shelter, however, and by the time the group reached Sprouston, the sun was shining again. Despite being absolutely drenched, all the participants all agreed that it was a good walk with good company. Thanks to Simon for organising it and also for providing delicious cheese scones.
Unlike last year, the weather in 2024 was glorious, and crowds turned out for the annual show. Cheviot Churches had a busy stall in one of the tents - our minister was able to meet friends old a new - and we were also able to sell jams and our new Cook Book.
