After the solstice

[shewhomust]

D. was the only one of us who got up to watch the sun rising. Friday wasn't actually the shortest day, the solstice had already passed, but the sunrise was a good one, and D. was very smug about it. He showed us the photos he had taken, and this is one of them:

I spent a lazy Friday visiting the beach with the view of St Cuthbert's island, sitting in the sun listening to the seals on the far shore. There's an exhibition in the old lifeboat house, about the Holy Island lifeboats. I wandered back through the priory, and found everyone else at home -

- and after talking it over, we agreed that we had enjoyed our week, that we would like to come back next year, and that St Oswald's Cottage looked very inviting. So we have booked it.

And on Saturday we came home.

Almost worth getting up for!

That is a really good sunrise.

[shewhomust]

Indeed.

That's a great picture! I'm a sucker for sunsets/sunrises over water -- prefer the latter for in-person encounters, but I'm glad he got up for the sunrise and shared that picture.

Beautiful sunrise photo and oh my, that cottage certainly does look inviting! The blues they used on the walls are just what I like. What a view it has.

What a view it has.

Several places we've stayed in the past have that view, or variations thereon:



But it has been a while, and yes, that's one reason why I thought the cottage worth the price!
