Walking with the Bishop

Individuals and walking groups from Churches in the Diocese are invited to join Bishop Brian on a Borders Pilgrimage in the Steps of St Cuthbert.  Meeting at the Corn Exchange (in the town centre) in Melrose at 10:45am sharp on Saturday 1st May; visiting Melrose Abbey before setting off for Dryburgh Abbey.  There are two routes one shorter and less steep than the other.  Transport back to Melrose can be arranged.  Please bring a packed lunch.  Further information from Fred Tomlinson (Synod Clerk – 0131 667 6224,fred.tomlinson@talk21.com ) or Maurice Houston at Holy Trinity Melrose (01896 822626:  rector@holytrinitymelrose.com ).

I shall not be taking part, in case you were wondering if you could walk with me. However, I have no objection to a drive to Melrose and then a wee look round that rather nice handbag and shoe shop and then coffee and a scone somewhere.
