Back into England.

We returned to England this morning.  

We have thoroughly enjoyed our travels in Scotland.  We have been impressed by the free parking and public conveniences (you notice these things when you carry your own toilet facilities with you)!  It's never been really warm but we avoided any serious weather and never got drenched and no midgy bites, so I think that is a successful trip.  The scenery is great and it's nice to feel there is plenty of space.  Certainly, many of the Scottish new build houses seemed to be large with plenty of garden, especially when compared with English new houses.

We drove to Holy Island (Lindisfarne) and parked up before the causeway. We cycled from there onto the Island which was gloriously sunny and fairly busy with other tourists.  I asked Janice if she would 'meet me on the corner' and she thought we should 'run for home'.




Three lovely photos of the island, priory and castle.  We had a picnic on the island and then drove on toward our destination - a proper Caravan Club site near Whitley Bay but we couldn't see the 'fog on the Tyne'.   We can use a proper washing machine etc yippee!

The site has a great view over the sea to a lighthouse and good coastal cycle routes.
