IT may have been raining but St Boswells wasn’t complaining.

There was something for everyone during Village Week - the sporty, the arty, the dancers, the singers and even the four-legged got a look in too.

Despite the torrential rain on Friday night, family football had a huge turnout and a penalty shoot out to decide the finalists.

Saturday saw the pet show, run by the St Boswells air cadets, with snail racing, dog agility and prize for the waggliest tail.

And, again, despite the unpredictable weather it was a roaring success, with Luna taking the champions shield.

Saturday's fancy dress, with the theme A Day at the Zoo, had to be moved indoors but there were still plenty monkeys, crocodiles and zoo keepers to make life difficult for the judges.

There was no rest of Sunday as touch rugby kicked off proceedings on the Croft, along with obstacle courses and Hang Tough.

As ever Village Week cumulated with the village race and about 70 runners age from three and upwards took to the two mile course.

Village athletes William Taylor and Kirsty Rankine took the honours as first male and female.
