Yesterday, I used BBC iPlayer to listen to Hardeep Singh Kholi exploring the Scottish border in the first of a 2 part Radio 4 documentary (catch the second part this coming Monday). He started on the coast by the railway line which hugs the east coast near Berwick on Tweed and follows the route of the A1.
Image thanks to Louise Holman: a park in Morpeth, the marks on the grass slope are where the flood waters reached, and then receded from - the highest mark is near the top of the slope...
And a few hours ago, I passed that very same spot, and entered Scotland, heading up on the East Coast mainline to Glasgow and the SCOTTISH LEARNING FESTIVAL.
Earlier, went through MORPETH, which was badly hit by flooding in August, and also caught sight of the Angel of the North up on the skyline.
