A bit of a dull, grey and drizzly day.
My Grandad (the one who is buried in France) was stationed near Seahouses before he went to France and My Nan went to stay up there with my mum who was then a very young girl. She learnt to talk there and my Nan helped the fisher women mend nets to pay for her lodgings. When my Nan and mum went home to Liverpool a year later no one could understand what my mum was saying!
A bit of late lunch and a wander around the village first.
What a stunning place you visited. Beautiful photos so full of atmosphere - could almost smell the salt in the air!
ReplyDeleteIt still looks beautiful despite the grey start. Could your Mum remember much of the time she lived here? Having seen both your photos and those from Louise we must try and visit this lovely area of England.

What a,lovely place. So beautiful. Your mum was a very lucky girl to stay there. All that sea air and sand.
ReplyDeleteLovely for you to revisit, such memories.

I'm enjoying these posts! We stayed in Warkworth too in August and visited loads of the same places as you - we took a fantastic boat trip to the Farne Islands with Billy Shiels but there are still lots of places we didn't visit around there so I'd love to go back one day.
ReplyDeleteYou captured a lot of textures in those pictures. It looks a lovely place to visit.
ReplyDeleteI love all the photos of the boats and things on the beach.
ReplyDeleteLove this postcard.
ReplyDeleteGreat photos of a relatively unknown, beautiful, part of the country (don't tell too many people about it!!). We had a week's holiday up there, just north of Bamburgh, a couple of years ago.The beaches are fantastic aren't they, and almost deserted most of the time.
ReplyDeleteSeahouses is best known for it's fish and chips. Did you indulge?
Oh we used to go on holiday to Bamburgh, I have very, very fond memories of that beach. I'd love to take the boys there, and to Seahouses (my cousin goes often and finds some lovely beach glass), the drive is just that bit too far....maybe a holiday cottage on year would be good. Some stunning photos again, thanks for the memories :) Bethx
