Well well dear readers of Wear and Dao, what a day yesterday turned out to be. We arrived at Holy Island with the causeway open all day until 1430 so the day to look about the place. After a cup of tea and snack at one of the many eateries we headed up towards the castle and looked round there, then went on to Bamburgh Castle rather Bamburgh itself for lunch at the rather posh Lord Crewe Hotel where we had dressed crab, salad and hand cut chips.
Returning home to Stanhope via the coastal route took just a couple of hours and we were rather knackered to be honest and sun burnt too!
Today the plan was to drive over to Rothbury and Cragside again with a warm and sunny forecast and enjoy the rhodedendrons again, this time with the mobility scooter to assist the kind caring friend who can walk without pushing your old blogger about in a wheelchair.
As usual a delicious, nutritious lunch was on the menu(cheese and onion pasty with baked beans for the old blogger and tuna wrap plus salad for the kind caring friend, and books and other gifts were purchased. Tomorrow Bill the philosopher and friend is coming for lunch to explore more philosophy, the Meaning of Life and The Nature of Reality etc etc ... Let's see how that goes, with pasta Bolognese on the menu!
