"In a small area like this, it’s unbelievably quiet — minimal traffic through the town, it’s just incredible." There had been Covid-19 cases in the valley and locals had been taking the lockdown seriously. Apple orchard CAJ van der Voort administrator Toni Birtles said production continued throughout the lockdown, at what was a busy time of year. "But I think they are happy where they are in the Teviot Valley."
