HBM - A seat at Lindisfarne

Another short break for us brings us to Northumberland and this very ancient and famous 'Holy Island', also called Lindisfarne. We are here walking to the impressive 16th century castle with many other tourist from all over the world. The castle was much altered in 1901 by Sir Edwin Lutyens.

(In a way, a shame to break up such a scene with a modern bench like this but it fulfilled its purpose..)

Have a great week.

My pleasure to be back Gordon. It was a good holiday with some really nice weather for the first few days at least. This Island is quite wonderful of course and our short four hour stay was nowhere near long enough to explore as we wanted.

HBM enjoy the day. Herb

Aye we very often see castles and the like covered in scaffolding too but we were lucky on this trip. A wonderful place to visit here.

The bench, after a whole winter there, will look greyish and will not shock in the landscape…

It shows where we can sit to enjoy the view Herb. I'm sure you will show us more of the castle soon. I hope you had a good break.
HBM and a good new week, Rosa.

Herb Riddle ^club has replied to Rosalyn Hilborne

Many thanks Rosa. There were in fact very many seats along this wide grassy promenade from the village. I reckon you might see one or two more of the castle too.

Nice to see you back Herb.............I take it this break was much less eventful as your last?

I think the bench anchors the shot nicely here............and the view is still fantastic, especially in the sunshine!

Have a good week ahead my friend.

Herb Riddle ^club has replied to Keith Burton ^club

Thanks for this Keith. You are right -this week was quite a different week to our one to Wales some short weeks ago. Many wonderful views to this castle but this has the nice included bench which as you say anchors the shot. A rare bit of sunshine for us too -can't be bad!

Have a good week yourself. Herb

Difficult to go there without enjoying at least some parts of it. We were lucky with the weather that afforded us a nice walk.

Die Flut kann kommen, die Burg ist sicher. Mit einem Fernglas kann man hier sicher gut beobachten.
