Oh dear, I didn't notice when I did my 1300th post ....... this is post 1306! So we'll just pretend that this is the landmark one, as we had a great day out today, so there are lots of photos to share with you. We headed over the border to Berwick, a town steeped in history. As we walked from the car into town, I stopped to admire the railway viaduct
first stop was for lunch. If we had known how big the baguettes were, we would have ordered one between us! Malcolm ordered Coronation chicken, and I ordered cheese savoury. When the waitress brought them, we took a look at each other's and decided to have half each!
after lunch, we set off for a walk round the town walls. There are a lot of gun emplacements ......
........ a reminder of the days when the town had to be protected from the pesky Scots!
the sun came out, and the views were wonderful
two gates in one photo!
I remembered that the last time we walked along the walls, we passed some allotments, which seemed to be home to a Hobbit
I spotted this man in a boat ....
....... then realised that he was working with these men, pulling in fishing nets
but I don't think they would want to use this boat, which was part of a garden design
we had a good view of the three bridges - the original narrow one (easily defended to keep the aforementioned Scots out), the "new" bridge, which was opened in 1928, and the railway viaduct
after our walk on the walls, we headed to the beach, to look for driftwood for Malcolm's creations. While he gathered wood, I took photos of the old wooden groynes
I still have lots of photos to share with you ...... so I think you will have to come back tomorrow for the rest!
