Thank you for this post.
My wife and I spent a wonderful week on Holy Island, with my late father, one year before he became physically incapacitated. It's a magical place. Peace emanates from every stone.

This is the second of two poems I wrote after doing a past life meditation which featured memories of being a monk on Holy Island (Lindisfarne).

Same view as the last post, but taken on a 'real' camera. It's obviously better, although the mobile phone wasn't bad. 📷🤔

On June 8, 793, Vikings raided Lindisfarne, spilling blood in a sacred monastery. This shocking assault marked the dawn of the Viking Age, terrifying Anglo-Saxon England and reshaping medieval Europe.

Lindisfarne Castle on Holy Island. Although, having just listened to the LJ Ross "Holy Island" audiobook, I now realise how dangerous this place really is! 😂

When we visit Lindisfarne (Holy Island) in Northumbria, our go-to spot for a quiet Sunday is Pilgrims Coffee. It’s the perfect place to indulge in a delicious cake and a hot cup of coffee. And guess what? The crumbs from the cake are shared with the friendly sparrows that hang out in the courtyard. It’s a delightful treat for all concerned - birds and people alike!

A Hob is type of household spirit, so-called in parts of northern England and southern Scotland, but similar to the brownie found elsewhere, or to the tomte or nisse in Scandinavia. Mostly considered lucky, as a good hob will help with the house or farm work, they can also be mischievous nuisances and hard to get rid of. They may be survivals of the Old English cofgodas, pre-Christian household gods.
Here in the far north east of England, they're usually known as hobthrushes. My favourite hobthrush story involves none other than St Cuthbert, bishop of Lindisfarne, who was bothered by a rowdy hobthrush while trying to meditate, and was forced to use all his ingenuity to trick the creature into leaving.
Some versions put the story in Cuthbert's later years on Inner Farne, but I prefer the location below, a small island where the saint was said to retreat from the arduous demands of bishopry, and which is still known as Cuthbert's Island, or Hobthrush Island.

"A geeky solution is always the best solution." I'd like to try the pedestrian Pilgrim's Way crossing over to Holy Island, so I took the natural logical approach of creating a web page to do the calculation for me! 😉
