Alnmouth to Craster (Dunstan)

FindPenguins says, "What have you been up to?"... I guess 'walking' is the obvious answer, but it really has been a time for reflection too. I was reminded again this morning of Father Murray Bodo and the Pilgrim's credo:
"I am not in control,
I am not in a hurry,
I live in faith and hope,
I greet everyone with peace
and I bring back only what God gives me."
There have been many times as I've walked, that I've found myself focusing on various parts of that, but I've never really given much thought to, "I live in faith and hope."
This last week I've been reminded about our God being a God of miracles and so those two things have, as I've walked above the glorious beaches and calm seas, been much on my mind this morning and have led me to worship and praise of Jesus, Miracle Maker, in whom I live in faith and hope.

The morning walk through to Boulmer was on my own. After a restful stop for a cool drink, I was caught up by the group of friends who helped when we all managed to get the wrong side of the fence a few days back. We have bumped into each other at some point almost every day. Today we travelled together for much of the way into Craster.
I stopped in Craster for a light lunch, before heading the mile or so inland to Dunstan, where my B&B is. It is called The Cottage Inn and I had to walk through a driveway in the woods. It is really beautiful! I'll try to get a picture later, to add to this footprint, but for the moment I'd like to stop.Read more
