After its long hols the Community Council gets back to work One new issue is the question of out of hours medical cover now that the Bordoc arrangement is being abandoned with GPs no longer working overtime and their roles being filled by paramedics. . The other major topic is of course the local plan in the light of the local laird's offer to provide land in Paxton for four 'affordable' houses. An offer enthusiastically accepted by the Berwickshire Housing Association. This, to happen, will need an alteration to the draft local plan which has confined zoning for development in Paxton to the completion of the Orchard project. Faithful bloggees will be aware of the implications of all this from previous rants. Nuff said for the moment and reports will follow; if I am spared.

en famille* Wall to wall sun.We amused the tiny ones yesterday at Conundrum Farm which is stocked with child friendly fauna including Guinea Pigs, giddy goats, flamboyant rabbits, exotic cattle and gadgets like toy tractors and earth movers. The earth moved for a Doe rabbit while we were as a baby was born during lunch. This surprised the management as the rabbits had been segregrated for some months to prevent such occurrences-however a tiny eyewitness (child of the house?) confirmed she had, some time ago, seen a buck rabbit tunnel out of its enclosure into the cage sinister* and had done its male duty-well it appears. It reminds me of my favourite headline from an Irish local newspaper reporting a hunting accident:'
Father of ten shot dead. Mistaken for a Rabbit'
