The enticing half-term break afforded me an opportunity to escape for a bit of a day to Lindisfarne with Jac.
It was nice weather, too. Most unexpected. The drive up was pleasant, and we stopped off in Almwick for a quick bite.
The cafe we went in is great. When they need to
be in the cellar, they lock the door, and open the floor.
Mind the step!
Jac's teacakes looked lovely, and my BLT featured
some amazingly flavoursome bacon. Smashing.
The view over the harbour. Always stunning.
Jac says that the castle looks like it's wrapped in a cloak.
I think I know what she means. Here she is on her way
back from photographing some ageing locks and other crevices.
The car park there is jam full - it's half term.
So why is the extremely popular and useful bus service to the castle not running?
I despair of the British sometimes.
We rushed back afterwards, after an interesting meal at a pub, which I shall choose not to tell you about, mainly because I have no pictures. The journey back was frustrating, and the traffic got very bad towards Newcastle.
Fiona, Jac and myself took full advantage of the chicken curry we prepared a little later. It was a good end to the day.
I like what you've done here, but there is vry little for the drainage enthusiast.

It's a fair point, Jason.
I'm sorry.
There were drains there...

They were subtle drains, not in your face showing off drains. Typical southern drains, always bragging.
