Thank You For the Days ..

Hawick

To Hawick today, to the dental hygienist. She's a lovely lady, but I dread going. The inside of my mouth is very ticklish, and even though she spreads masses of gum-numbing (and foul tasting) gel, I still find it hard not to start squirming during the polishing. But we got there, eventually.

Then for shopping. In our town we have only the Coop, but Hawick has a Sainsbury's, a brand spanky new Lidl, and today I noticed that an Aldi is in course of construction. Wow!

And just across the road, a new distillery is going up. I could see four brand new copper stills, still wrapped in plastic, standing proudly in place. I couldn't get near enough for a decent shot, but I've put it in the extras.

The main shot is Hawick Town Hall, once a very grand building. The High Street where it stands is rather run down at the moment: this is taken from a couple of streets back, where you can see the lovely setting the town has. 

Hopefully, with all the new developments going up, it will begin to thrive once more.
