We couldn't get across to the Island we got the timings of the tide wrong and it was coming in so wasn't safe to drive along the causeway and our schedule didn't allow us to stay there over night.<br /><br />Do you remember the story of Grace Darling and the lighthouse. The islands where the puffins breed are called the Farne Islands and are not far from the lighthouse. Here's a little snippet......<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><b>Farne Islands, a very special place indeed. Only 2 miles off the coast of Northumberland, this group of low lying Islands, the largest of which are Staple and Inner Farne, are the breeding home to tens of thousands of puffins, thousands of kittiwake, arctic tern, eider duck and guillemot, hundreds of razorbill, In the waters surrounding them an estimated 2,000 Atlantic grey Seal. </b> <br /><br />You need to wear a hat when you go on the islands as the birds sometimes go for your head never mind what might drop on it! There are boat trips out to see the puffins.Rosie Nixon Fluertyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10851979959739600135noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4489244535777995519.post-61678030101798934682010-03-14T00:26:08.571+00:002010-03-14T00:26:08.571+00:00Quite a beautiful, stirring, and thought provoking...Quite a beautiful, stirring, and thought provoking poem.

I am having a cup of coffee right now, and thinking "friendship, gratitude, connection across the miles" and even more coffee at Mar de Jade, Chacala Beach, Mexico...with some dancers.
