Lindisfarne 7-22

Today our pilgrims were able to follow the Pilgrim's Way across to Holy Island.


A full English breakfast served by Jackie and Sean
Had us ready for further adventure,
We walked to the priory where all our other pilgrims went
To pray (this time - without censure).

St Mary's Church


After our outdoor Mass at the sculpture of good old St. Cuthbert
We walked up the hill right nearby,
To view Cuthbert's island, where he lived and prayed,
And the two distant castles up so high.

A nice picnic lunch for this busy pilgrim bunch,
Gave all a nice chance to sit down,
Then free time to sleep, or walk to the beach,
Or browse through the shops in the town.


Dinner at Lindisfarne hotel with Ian our wonderful bus driver
who has become our adopted pilgrim

A family style dinner at 5:30, before we got dirty
Walking Lindisfarne's historic pilgrim way
The evening sun came out bright At low tide - a gorgeous sight
And the meditative walk finished our day.
