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
