Boat trip

Don't be fooled by the lovely weather in these photos. It was bitterly cold!

Approaching one of the main Farne Islands (there are between 15 & 20 islands depending on the tide).

Thankfully there's no 'smellovision' with this blog. Can you spot the puffins on the rocks?

The famous lighthouse where Grace Darling, the daughter of the keeper, helped rescue 9 people from a grounded paddle steamer.

And no, your eyes aren't fooling you. The islands are home to a colony of seals too.

Betty reckoned they looked like giant slugs!

Now some group shots

Betty, Nadine & Anna (your faithful blogger gazing into the distance).

Clare, the back of James, moi & Anna

The six children got on so well: Alfie, James, Arthur, Lucy, Eve & Betty

Is Betty warming Tine up, or is it the other way round?

Finally, Simon with Alfie & Bets.
