I have visited several times with bus loads of children andcthey always say the same thing-" it's all rusty"! Just in case we hadn't noticed!! Lovely Lindisfarne but agree with other poster who said not at holiday periods-too busy by far. Glad you had such a lovely trip away.

Lindisfarne plus Easter usually means crowds of visitors/pilgrims so I do hope you get to return when there's less footfall. Envious here of the Angel of the North. We're stuck with Temenos (http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/10281554) which I've tried to like but really don't.lovethosecupcakeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07083162147277460536noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2419544468759273678.post-5382557865886314732017-04-17T14:30:08.505+01:002017-04-17T14:30:08.505+01:00Those are 3 places I'd love to visit, but with...Those are 3 places I'd love to visit, but without lots of other people too! Being brought up on the coast in a North Norfolk we never ventured anywhere on bank holidays, mainly because we couldn't get out of the village due to the traffic. Now a days I still tend to stay at home, I've mainly been in the garden 😊Suhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03104140914581346288noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2419544468759273678.post-63847561467328329292017-04-17T11:04:46.135+01:002017-04-17T11:04:46.135+01:00It's many many years since we visited Lindisfa...It's many many years since we visited Lindisfarne and Hadrians Wall, our chidren were primary school age. I too remember thinking then that it was strange that the kids could climb all over the wall, I suppose we're so used to being told not to touch anything!!greenrabbitdesignshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12562034074399686544noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2419544468759273678.post-11037878563889788882017-04-17T10:40:08.327+01:002017-04-17T10:40:08.327+01:00What a lot you have fitted into your Easter weeken...What a lot you have fitted into your Easter weekend.

We went to Lindisfarne many years ago and stayed for a week. If you want to enjoy it at its most peaceful and atmospheric stay for a few days. Once all the day trippers have gone home it is a magical place and you can wander freely and almost feel like a local. There's a beautiful walled garden to enjoy too that belongs to the castle. We were there when the last foot and mouth scare was on so walks were restricted (2001/2 I think). It's well worth staying.

Lindisfarne looks amazing. Lucky you having a Greek feast, I'm a huge fan of Greek food. You have reminded me, I must make some soon.

Husband has wanted one for years but had a specific make in mind and didn't want one of those shiny black ones. We walked into an antiques shop yesterday and there it was, the piano he'd dreamt of for about 50 years. Rosewood case and totally refurbished, he played and I gulped and wrote the cheque!
