I dragged myself out of bed at seven fifteen this morning for the forty-odd mile drive north to the Farne Islands - puffin, seal and kittiwake encrusted rocks just off the coast at Seahouses. We went on a two hour boat trip to Longstone Island and back, chugging around the National Trust nature sanctuaries before tucking into a jumbo sized haddock and chips once we were back on land. On the way home we stopped off at Embleton Bay, where the skeletal ruins of Dunstanburgh Castle stand high above a mile long curve of dune backed sand. After a two hour stopover back home we're back off out to see the Sunderland Symphony Orchestra at The Sage tonight.
