Hadrian's Wall

[ladyofastolat]

The week before last, we walked Hadrian's Wall. This being a National Trail, it meant following the sign of the acorn. Within a few hours, we started calling this "the unicorn," accidentally at first, but soon deliberately. "Hadrian's Wall Path" became "Hadrian's warpath," so here is an account, with pictures, of our adventures following the

That drawer in the two room B&B is full of weird stuff! Undoubtably 'ritual', on the basis of no one knowing what an earth it could be for, so it must be ritual! :D

And lol, you made a friend there too!! I wonder how much bacon Colin manages to beg stare until visitors give him in to his whiles (silly me, I forgot for a minute there that cats never lower themselves to beg, lol)! :D

"Our B&B was very full of cherubs and nick-nacks from antique shops. The slip of paper with the wifi password had been carefully placed in the hand of a flying cherub descending from above" - I LOVE this!! Always good to have a B&B owner with a sense of humour!

Clouds are fascinating, even with added danger or meanders!

"There were also many cows, whose main pleasure in life seemed to be standing in a great clump by the cattle grid, entirely blocking the road and refusing to move until they'd gathered a good half dozen inconvenienced motorists, whereupon they grudgingly moved, let the cars pass, then moved back again to block the next lot." - I can well imagine this! And they say cows don't have a sense of humour...

Glad you enjoyed it, despite our more usual summer weather (so glad you didn't do it during the heatwave).

I'm surprised that Colin the cat wasn't fatter. He very definitely had learnt that when strangers appear in the morning, bacon usually follows. He was lying in wait outside our door, ready to follow us to breakfast. "He loves bacon," said his accomplice, as he brought us our food. I love bacon, too... but I also love cats, and Colin at that point was my very best friend in all the world - he told me so repeatedly - so I had to share. Naturally, the second our plates were empty, we were dead to him and off he went.
