IT may be tempting fate, but the weather is almost always kind on Innerwick's all important date, Saturday, August 7, the 137th Innerwick Flower, Vegetable and Fruit Show.
Last year it was the rain and this year it's a cool easterly wind but nonetheless the flowers, fruit and vegetables are still growing well and organisers and competitors alike are busy preparing for this well-established and extremely popular show.
Innerwick will be decked in its finest, ready to welcome locals and visitors alike.
The doors open at 2pm with an official opening at 2.15pm and then the fun begins.
It is not just the adults who enjoy the magnificent displays of flowers, fruit and vegetables, the juvenile section will provide much fun and interest for young and old alike.
Each year this wonderful show grows and develops and this year will be no exception.
Pony rides, a fun dog show and stalls and games that always ensure that children and adult alike have a happy, busy afternoon.
Once again Eyemouth Pipe Band will be in attendance, providing a wonderful selection of music whilst you enjoy a leisurely stroll around the varied stalls, or sit peacefully in the sun.
The Fun Dog Show always provides much mirth and merriment and the entire day is a great occasion for the whole family, a great get together.
Chris Wish, childrens' entertainer will be on hand to keep everyone amused.
It is to be hoped that a warm afternoon will encourage people to the refreshment tent but even if it is a little cooler a warming cup of tea accompanied by some of the delicious scones and cakes supplied by local ladies, Linda Cowan and Sheena Clark are a must.
Just in case this doesn't fill the gap, don't forget to visit the wealth of different stalls and purchase some of that wonderful home-baking and bric-a-brac.
Here's hoping for a wonderful day both for exhibitors and those visiting.
Much appreciated and helping to provide the best possible day is the kind sponsorship from Community Wind Power and British Energy.
