February comes in with an icy blast with temperatures plunging to -10C. But with it came the quiet beauty of frosty mornings and clear blue skies for some. There's still plenty to do in the Scottish Borders indoors (lots of music for all tastes) and outdoors with the splendid snowdrop festival now underway. Keep warm but do try to get outdoors this month. [ 314 more words ]

Get outdoors in February to enjoy the Scottish Borders Snowdrop Festival. Or stay indoors and enjoy a wide variety of music across the Scottish Borders.

national Novel writing month November is National Novel Writing Month. A time when wannabe authors put pen to paper and attempt to write a novel in thirty days. This is definitely a tough challenge - a 50,000 word novel—from scratch—in one month. To break it down, you have to write 1,667 words a day, every day, for thirty days straight. Hundreds of NaNoWriMo novels have been traditionally published. [ 444 more words ]

We're offering a great discount on our Cottage for November to budding writers, participating in NaNoWriMO or with a writing project in mind.

Something to get everyone out before we hunker down for winter. Scott's Selkirk 6-8 October… [ 389 more words ]
