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).

A long, straight road stretches across the tidal flats of the Lindisfarne Causeway, linking the mainland to the historic Holy Island on the #NorthumberlandCoast. Surrounded by vast salt marshes and shimmering sands, the #TidalRoad offers breathtaking #CoastalViews that change dramatically with the tide. Travellers can enjoy a peaceful #ScenicDrive here, with distant hills and open skies creating a sense of calm and isolation. It is a favourite spot for walkers and #NaturePhotography enthusiasts, drawn to its unique landscape and wildlife.

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

The magical Lindisfarne Priory on the Holy Island of Lindisfarne in Northumberland. Not Scotland, but close. It was founded in the 1120s on the site of a monastery established 500 years earlier. More pics and info: https://www.undiscoveredscotland.co.uk/lindisfarne/lindisfarnepriory/index.html

Lindisfarne Castle rises dramatically atop a rocky hill on Holy Island, offering sweeping #CoastalViews across the North Sea and the #NorthumberlandCoast. Surrounded by open fields and tidal flats, the area blends serene #HistoricLandscape with the charm of an #IslandEscape. The castle, a National Trust property, draws visitors for its unique history and breathtaking panoramas of the surrounding coastline. At low tide, the causeway allows access to this remote haven, making it one of the region’s most captivating destinations #LindisfarneCastle.

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.

Summer Holiday 2024
Holy Island, also known as Lindisfarne, is a small tidal island off the northeast coast of England. It is located in Northumberland and is famous for its rich history, natural beauty, and religious significance.
Apart from all that good information it's also the home of Pilgrims Coffee, which is always our first stop when we arrive on the island. Coffee and cake is a must have.
Alas on this visit things have changed with a guy who had to be temporary serving. Coffee was hardly warm and took ages to be produced. Hoping that next year it'll be back to normal. -

"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! 😉

Day out birding as per above started with a Great Egret and Caspian Tern flying over the causeway at Beal. Followed by a Merlin on a wall along Straight Lonnen with a flyover juvenile European Honey Buzzard. Top off by an American Golden Plover on the east shore of the island.

Can't remember if I posted these before... the iconic wonky poles marking the Pilgrim route to Lindisfarne. I had some unforgettable companions on the way.

This one has been languishing on the bookshelf for sometime. I was uncertain I would enjoy it. A fairly decent locked room police procedural crime novel. Could have done without the #MillsandBoon bodice ripper love story sub plot and the end is so far fetched it's ridiculous. Stereotypical characters, cliched dialogue and the crimes are not fully resolved, a cheeky ploy to make you read the next in the series. But all in all a fairly decent romp which does keep you guessing. #HolyIsland #LJRoss
