An Armchair Pilgrimage to Lindisfarne

On this overcast first-of-July morning, which reminds me of northern England in July minus the greenery and lovely sheep, I’ve been thinking about visiting Lindisfarne, Holy Island, two summers ago.  About walking from the priory to the castle, past the picturesque harbor with lobster pots and boats.  About the perfect Gertrude Jekyll garden enclosed in stone walls below the famous castle hill.
  

I’d love to go back some day for a long retreat, writing and taking pictures everywhere and staying in the white inn.
