This week is a constituency recess week and I have many engagements lined up in the Borders. Here are a few highlights:

This will be followed by a meeting in Duns to discuss the plans for this year's Jim Clark rally. In the afternoon I will be meeting with Dr Chris Cutts from the Scottish Sustainable Environment Initiative in Eyemouth.

On Tuesday morning I will be meeting with the Healthy Working Lives Adviser for the NHS in Galashiels and in the afternoon I will be visiting the community hospital in Duns. In the evening I am looking forward to joining the RNLI at one of their regular training exercises in Eyemouth.

On Wednesday morning I will be in Jedburgh meeting local organisations. In the afternoon I will be visiting the community hospital in Kelso. In the evening I am looking forward to presenting Veterans Badges to ex-servicemen and women in Hawick.

On Thursday I have a full day of visits and meetings in Hawick, including to the fire station and the community hospital. I will also have a meeting with the Managing Director of Hawick Knitwear.

On Friday morning I will attend an update meeting with representatives from the National Farmers Union of Scotland.

My surgeries this week will be in the Town Hall in Jedburgh between 3pm and 4pm, and in the Abbey Row Centre in Kelso between 4.30pm and 5.30pm."
