Martin was home early from his sailing trip so we decided to drive to Leeds late Wednesday evening instead of early doors Thursday morning. We were glad as the journey was in dry conditions whereas Thursday morning we would have driven through heavy rain. We put Kath out though as both of her lodgers were there so she had to give up her lovely big bed for her old mum and dad and kip on the sofa.
Kath had reported that one of her loos wasn't working and Martin spent a few hours Thursday morning trying to mend it and I made 2 trips to Screwfix. In the end he had to admit defeat in order for us to leave for Northumberland so she will need to get a plumber in.
I drove our car and Martin accompanied Kath in her car on the 2.5 hour journey to Seahouses. Our accommodation for the 4 night stay, is a 2 bedroom house on a housing estate. It's very quiet though so I suspect a few houses are holiday rentals. This one has a Sold sign and when I looked it up online and in the description it states that it would be a good holiday home.
After settling in we walked around the small town (mostly fish and chip, ice cream or gift shops) and around the fishing harbour. The Farne islands are just offshore so there are tourist excursion boats. One enterprising fisherman offers the chance for tourists to join him on his trips out to collect his crab and lobster pots.
The coffee table has been commandeered by Kath for her revision papers and our timings of our walks will ensure she can revise for a few hours each day (3 exams early November).
