Monday 1st November

 River is still too high... sigh.

Franca made an apple pie and I had a look at our Oxnam river on the estate, the water  lower and less coloured. Even had a chuck with a heavy fly with my 3 weight.
Since I noticed a minor leakage in the left foot region of the Hardy waders I checked it again and found two seam sections to be repaired. 

We went for a stroll around Kelso and visited the River Tweed Salmon Fishing Museum in the Town Hall where we met Jim Smail, a retired ghillie.
We had a bite at Mayfield and did the shopping at the usual place.

Franca cooked us a fine dinner, chicken thighs, Brussels sprouts and baked potatoes.
Some pictures.

We estimate that the river height will be a little over one (1) metre come morning so we have a plan to explore the topmost part of our beats of the Teviot, the Chesters region.
