Its 5 years since we last visited Holy Isle and then we stayed overnight. Today we arrived at 10.30am thinking it would be fairly quiet as the schools started in Northumberland today. It was mobbed and the causeway would close at 1.45pm but when we left at 12.46pm there were still people coming over. I am willing to bet there were people stranded today.
There were Starlings everywhere.
The harbour area with the ruined Abbey behind.
The main street.
Upturned boats now used as sheds.
Lindisfarne Castle but we did not go along there as there were just too many people.
Gaye enjoying a seat beside the harbour but she had forgotten Suntan lotion and was in danger of burning so we did not linger for long.
On our way back we stopped for a walk round Alnwick and Gaye managed to buy something at a Charity shop so was very happy.
Back home in Newbiggin I finished off the day with a 3 mile promenade walk. The beautiful Sailing Yacht was anchored in the bay.
Looks like they had come to rescue the young couple stranded on the breakwater
High tide and this fisherman was having no luck.
More Starlings. At night they seem to roost in the big church on the headland.
