A warm day (18C), sunny with cloud.
Seaview CAMC Site, certainly lives up to it's name, this is the view, out our window.
After yesterday's up and down hill 17.5 mile cycle ride, I feel ithat suggesting another day of cycling may not be well received. Instead, a walking day is the plan.
Yesterday, we noticed what appeared to be a "short cut" to Berwick town, so, today, the plan is to investigate. It is, what appears to be a former railway line, although it is not apparent where it went from and to.
Part way along the track, is an information board, telling us that the Walk is called, "The Lowry Walk", apparently, the artist L S Lowry, liked to visit Berwick-upon-Tweed for his holidays.
It certainly is a very pleasant walk, with some fine views. Unfortunately, we cannot complete the final part, along the pier to the lighthouse, since maintenance work is underway, and the pier is closed to the Public.
Instead, we extend our walk along the Elizabethan Ramparts, where we pause, for a picnic lunch.
Then, across the Golf Course, and, along the beach, to return, via the part of the Lowry Walk, which is open.
Stopping off for Coffee at the Riverside Cafe, in Tweedmouth.
The service and coffee are excellent.
They also do lunches, which look very good too, so, we may be back, later in the week.
However, their Toasted Teacakes are more like biscuits than teacakes, perhaps, it is the influence of nearby Scotland?

Glad to hear that things are proceeding as "normal". At least things appear as though we may get to Ayr, providing Scotland stays open. Liz has taken to reading the Adults ONLY site book from Tranquil sites. We have stayed at one and found it as perfect as we would want (fully serviced, sparkling heated shower block and no kids. We love them but...
ReplyDeleteKen S appears to be making good progress on our Great Wall of Fellgate fence and the Eco-board supplier lady (the very helpful Steph) wants photos of the final job, expecially the gates.
All of this will be discussed tomorrow chez Dale where beer will be drunk.
Hope wee Crankie keeps the place open long enough for you to enjoy Ayr. Adults only sounds sensible in the school holidays! Enjoy beer chez Dale. Look forward to seeing the fence/wall, you will have to grow a comb over and get some orange tanning lotion, as per the Donald ;)
