Wednesday 23 June: Berwick, Hoban’s and to Hadrian’s Wall

 We are both briefly woken by yellow light pouring in to the roof top and we enjoy the sunrise over Lindisfarne. A bit more sleep before breakfast and packing up. We refuel with diesel and supplies at Morrison’s before a swift nip around half of the Elizabethan ramparts of Berwick upon Tweed. We hadn’t realised Lowry was so influenced by the town and enjoyed views over the rooftops to the mouth of the Tweed and Bamburgh Castle beyond. Then back towards Newcastle where we are made very welcome by Teresa and Simon in their lovely house and garden in Lowfell. After a delicious  lunch and a glass of Rosé (not on an empty stomach!) we set off for Hadrian’s Wall. After about 30 minutes a warning light comes about tyre pressure and we discover a nail in a rather flat tyre! Amazing fortune finds us close to Hexham and a KwikFit and we are soon mended and back on the road! Our campsite is lovely: very rural with rabbits eating clover from the grass and we have a great view. Tomato and Feta Pasta a la Simon is on the menu this evening and I have a glass of Rosé in my hand so all is well.
