2013-06-20 A Wet Drive South

June 20, 2013 - Thursday

Today’s plan called for a stop in Harrogate so that Irene could go to a yarn store and then a visit to York. 

 Drove by:  Landisfarne National Nature Reserve-Budle Bay; Bamburgh, ancient capital of Northumbria, castle; Seahouses, beach, Alnwick, Treehouse for lunch; then highway to The South; skipped Harrogate – too late for yarn store; skipped York – started to rain; drove to Woodnewton and Bridge Cottage.   Waited in car for rain to abate – Judy came to get us with umbrellas.  Showed us to rooms; recommended The White Swan for dinner; made reservations for us; could walk over but with fear of rain, drove over instead; on way back, saw guy slip.  When we got back to cottage, he walked in.  apparently, he was staying there too.  He and a colleague were working on a local restoration project and they came from Cornwall.

Where we stayed:  Bridge Cottage, Oundle Rd, Woodnewton, Peterborough, PE8 5EG; Judy
