Snippets of our trip up north last week.

No this is not the Alamo, this is The Parish Church of Berwick upon Tweed, it is the most northerly parish church in England.

The colours and battle honours of the Coldstream Guards hanging in the church.

Trawlermen (fishermen) taking a break after returning home from sea.

One of the many trawlers at Eyemouth Scotland, I didn't know there were so many fishing fleet left in the UK.

Lindisfarne Priory on Holy Island Northumberland.

The causeway over to Holy Island. The Island is cut off by the tide twice a day, at this point the water rises about 4 to 5 feet. The road is passable 6 hours on 6 hours off. We are leaving the island now, the tide is on the turn.


Paxton House Scotland.
Paxton House and gardens.

Una walking back to England, using the Union Bridge over the river Tweed. Before today the last time I stood on this bridge was in 1971. I was with my dad, we were on a camping and fishing holiday on the Scottish Borders.


Palace of Holyroodhouse Edinburgh, our last day out before returning home. The last time we stood on this spot it was 1969, we were courting and on our first holiday together. Still smiling.
The orange cord around our necks are connected to the audio system that comes with the tour of the house.
