Per Ardua in your Astra
Yesterdays Road Flash, warmed up for today but still relevant:
Regular users of the B6437 will be heartened to know how seriously SBC takes the grooming of its street furniture. A mile or so W of Swinton a dedicated SBC team of 2 plus large wagon were seen in the vicinity of a traffic sign which one of them was cleaning to within an inch of its life. Nice to see the highways team has its priorities in place.

Its not the B6437 which is problematical today but the Duns airspace. Usually the low flying aircraft avoid built up areas (down town Hutton always excepted) but there must be a major exercise on this morning with Market Square as a secondary target, Its no good making a fuss about such things; the Hutton and Paxton Community Council was advised by a RAF liaison officer to take the registration number of any fighter flying under 200 feet and if you can identify the Pilot's eye colour that would be a bonus.
Its all Defence of the Realm stuff. Who knows the Taliban may infiltrate the Lammermuirs if they are driven out of Helmand. Can't take risks with National Security and anyone growing Poppies could have problems.

The Duke is making it an ideal place for the Taliban in the Lammermuirs lot's of radar black holes but then he thinks a wind farm which will fill his coffers with gold is more important!

Indeed. Lairds tend to be a bit like that as long as it does not spoil the view from the battlements! I enjoyed your letter in today's Berwickshire. See today's post
