Bamburgh Castle

A little more cleaning and tidying ready for a viewing. We received a 'viewing confirmation' email a couple of days ago, and a 'viewing reminder' first thing this morning, and the appointed hour came... and went. We gave the 'viewer' the benefit of doubt for a while, thinking that she may have been delayed, but after a couple of hours realised that she was a 'no show', and had a late lunch.

MrM and I both felt a bit dejected, and eventually decided on a trip to the beach to lift our spirits, even though it was late in the afternoon by then. MrM drove us to Bamburgh and we walked by the shore. The wind had built up and we were sandblasted as we went, so it wasn't a long walk - just as far as the castle. The way back to the van seemed much further, with the wind (and sand) blowing into our faces! Always good to be beside the sea though, whatever the weather.

The lights on the castle were coming on as we approached it.
