Islands & Castles

We arrived on Holy Isle on Sunday evening as soon as the causeway was open and checked into our B & B and headed to The Ship Inn for a nice meal. The weather was superb and Carlo & Sidne just loved the rural charm of the island.
The tide not fully out yet. We never saw the island when the tide was high as we were either away somewhere or it was in the middle of the night.

Gaye looking very relaxed and enjoying herself. 

 Our visit on Monday gave the girls a chance to sit on the throne. Sidne looks more like a Queen than Gaye as she has a regal look about her. 
The superb view of the Northumberland Coast from the ramparts of Bamburgh Castle
From Bamburgh we headed to Alnwick Castle Gardens where the main feature is the splendid fountains 
Back on Holy Isle on Monday evening I went for a walk to St.Cuthberts Island where this photos taken showing the village on Holy Isle
