I'm sat sitting in the dentists reception room as MrsPete has some work done..
On the way in, I spotted a few things of interest.

Firstly, some wooden road signs.

And on the dentist wall.. A BM

Waren Mill
(about 3 miles up the coast from Bamburgh)
B1342


This is actually where we stayed, the bridge above, was literally built into the boundary wall of the Mill
There's no BM on the building, but a plaque on the electricity sub-station that's at the roadside

We had the 2nd floor of the glass insert & the 'loft'


Waren Burn, our 'own' waterfall


Seen here, from the shore of Budle Bay
2nd floor/'loft' of the square centre section


Waren Burn, entering the Bay, from our bedroom side-window



From the 'loft'
Lindisfarne Castle (Holy Island) could be seen in the distance, circa 4 miles?

Forgot...………
As we drove down to it (I took those, when we walked down from the 'Honey Farm', the CD player in the car started with 'The Crossing'
