Peter wanted me to take a picture of him eating desert at the indian buffet in Newcastle. He's eating ice cream soup with M&M candies... | | At Lindisfarne - Holy Island, north of Newcastle. It's connected to the mainland by a causeway that's flooded at high tide. That's why we're driving right next to seaweed! |

I liked the way that rooms were done up in National Trust buildings - just as though people were still living in them, with lots of knick-knacks. | | By lining up these 2 pyramids, fishing boats could head directly into the harbor |

The castle kitchen (remodeled in the early 1900's) | | These boats made into shelters were typical of the island |
