• Craster to Seahouses

    June 22 in England ⋅ 🌬 17 °C

    I've had an ice cream AND a cream tea, but I've walked a little distance back down the coast path to stretch my legs, so I've not been ALL bad! 😅
    It's also given me the opportunity to visit a pharmacy to check out some tick bites I got at the end of last week (the first pharmacy I've actually seen along the whole coast!), which, thankfully, he said are showing no sign of infection 🙂

    Before I left this morning, I took a quick walk along the drive of the B&B I stayed in last night. I didn't have the energy to take pictures when I arrived, and I wanted to share how beautiful it was in the first three pictures. A real "hidden cottage in the woods"!
