We were sitting watching tv last night when I said to Malcolm that I hadn't put in the link when I wrote about Woolfish - I'm very sorry and it won't happen again!
So, to continue with yesterday's day out. I think you know us well enought by now to know that if we were out for the day, lunch would be involved ...
We walked down to the harbour to this delightful cafe. Unfortunately it was too cold and windy to sit outside, so we sat upstairs, with a view out to the harbour. We had excellent cheese and ham toasties and somehow a bowl of chips with chilli dip got ordered as well .... Malcolm had a very large cup of coffee and as usual I had a pot of tea. I do sometimes drink coffee, but I want another drink afterwards - it just isn't thirst-quenching!
In this photo of the harbour, you can see the cafe on the right. Unfortunately it was a bit dull, so the photos of the scenery don't do justice to St Abbs.
I don't think they will suffer from coastal erosion here!
The white specks are birds - but as the binoculars were in the car, I can't tell you what kind of birds (probably boring seagulls!)
As we walked back up the hill from the harbour, we stopped to look at this memorial - although the biggest figures are only about six inches high, you can feel the anguish ....
I was too busy (sewing) today to find out more about the fishing disaster, but I will try to find out for a future post.
On the way back to the car, we saw this stone head. Fortunately, Malcolm spotted a leaflet at the National Trust information centre, so I can tell you about it. It is a carving of Aebbe, daughter of Aethelfrith, the first King of Northumbria She was sainted for helping to spread Christianity, and her name was given to the headland and village.
Well, I must end now, as Malcolm has almost finished cooking dinner (I did tell you I was very sensible and married a man who is a good cook!). I hope you have had a good weekend - come back tomorrow for more of this nonsense .....
