Yesterday we explored the coast between Bamburgh and Berwick
Via the Holy Island of Lindisfarne
We'd got across the causeway to the Island so early that the Castle wasn't open to the public, so we played along the shore where the sea reminded me that I must knit something in Old Shale again!
The island was so peaceful and so cold! The natives were prepared for this
but Matt was only wearing 5 layers and turning blue so we carried on up the coast to Berwick and then inland for a long drive around the Borders crossing backwards and forwards between Scotland and England.
You'd have thought I had plenty of time to knit - I managed 17 rows of 3 sts - I was far too busy playing spot the lambs!
