Day 1 Lindisfarne

Up early this morning for Morning Prayer service. Turns out the Anglican way is to follow Morning Prayer with Holy Communion. Two for one as it were.

Lovely breakfast at the High Rigg House where we are staying. Then off to find a cappuccino. Turns out the local post office is all set up to brew.

From there we walked partway along the Lindisfarne National Nature Reserve. Beautiful walk. We'll return tomorrow to finish.

Boats which were at one time used for fishing, are now turned upside down and used to store the fishermen's gear. They are called fishermen stores.

St. Aidan prayed;
Leave me alone with God as much as may be.
As the tide draws the waters close in upon the shore,
Make me an island, set apart,
Alone with You, O God, holy to You.

  1. Rocks, rocks and more rocks. How are your feet holding up? Neat story of the boat and cool picture, too.
