We came over to Berwick this morning, and after lunch decided to go for a walk on the beach that is way over on the other side of town. We went past the Bell Tower
then on past the golf course
we paused to look out beyond the lighthouse to Bamburgh Castle and Lindisfarne
then there was the beach below us
we very sensibly walked down the steps
but it might have been fun to go down the slide (stop sniggering, who said my bottom would get stuck!!)
we may have had fun making dams to divert the water running out to sea
one of us played with a shell, floating it on a little pool (which one of us ...... well, it wasn't me!)
I made a stone stack
which was dwarfed by the slab of rock I sat it on
Malcolm joined in the fun, and together we created this larger stack
the sun came out, casting our shadows on the sand
Malcolm thought this bit of broken wall looked like a crocodile
there was very little driftwood on this stretch of beach, but we did pick up some little bits of driftwood and china (I must knit new fingerless mitts, my pink ones are getting a bit shabby)
these birds ignored us, as they poked about at the water's edge
there were lots of limpet shells on the beach
but these are live ones clinging to the rock
I've still got lots of photos from our walk back through the town, which I'll show you tomorrow. To finish, on our way back to the flat we popped in here ......
....... for a cuppa and a delicious lemon meringue tart
