Christie,
ReplyDeleteAs soon as I saw the picture, I knew it was somewhere in Northern England! Wasn't sure about Scotland. Can't believe you've been there too!

ReplyDeleteWe’re like pilgrims, I think, making our way across vast distances of time and space in memory and photograph and word to those essential places that we love so well and have made part of our being (and well-being). Happy journeying! Like the pilgrims to Lindisfarne, we can only get there when the tide allows . . . But I would so love to be there now.
