Abbotsford House, near Melrose, was the home of Scots author Sir Walter Scott
A cheerful pic to start a damp Monday morning.
Saw this flag for the first time yesterday and it does indeed kick a lot of ass.

@ascentale @bikenite A1. Abbotsford, BC, Canada.
Good in most respects, but got bad news this morning as far as one of my prospects to be able to get back cycling again. Not enough frames out there that will support tall fat people...
So I'm wondering how I could ever crowdfund successfully enough to afford a replacement..
Otherwise enjoying BC & observing the rural cycle culture where I am. #BikeNite #BikeTooter #Abbotsford
I asked my friend why they'd design things this way, and they guessed that it was to save money by only having to build a sidewalk on one side. #Abbotsford #CarCentrism
Cyclists are pretty familiar with cycle paths or lanes that deadend. But car-centrism also includes sidewalks that disappear.
I walked about 2 miles and in that time I had to cross back and forth across the street several times because sidewalk was only on one side of the street and it was somewhat random which side would have it
There usually were not crosswalks where wheelchair users/peds were forced to cross and this in a neighborhood where many have gigantic trucks #CarCentrism #Abbotsford
On the way back from my walk, I saw in the distance two young children riding bikes with training wheels on the narrow sidewalk (it's a car-centric neighborhood), with a grand/parent behind them.
The young child in front appeared to be staring at me and I wondered why.
It turned out he was looking at a young child riding in the street on the wrong side, watched over by a parent behind them on a bike.
As we all passed, I said, "it's like Critical Mass #Abbotsford!"

*I could blame Margaret Cavendish Duchess of Newcastle because she was a duchess with a new castle

Back in time to June 2019.....
The gardens surrounding Abbotsford are beautifully landscaped, featuring terraces, lawns, and woodland walks that overlook the River Tweed. These grounds reflect Scott’s love of nature and his belief in creating harmony between the natural and built environments.
Abbotsford is a must-visit for fans of literature, history, and Scottish heritage. Its blend of personal story, literary legacy, and architectural splendor makes it a unique destination.
