Northumberland

I think theres been a significant shift from towns and cities to look to the countryside and coast. It will be interesting to see what happens when we get to the stage of the pandemic being in the past and whether such a shift remains, or cities and towns encourage people back to them.

 

Ashington's like Wombwell-next-the-sea.

 

Sounds attractive.

 

Standing on Holy Island looking out across the waves of the North Sea as they crash onto the coast its very easy to imagine the Viking longboats approaching. Fantastic place steeped in History.

 

For goodness sake don't let the wife anywhere near the Lindisfarne Mead Shop, they always end up spending far too much money in there on bottle after bottle of winey and meady type stuff.
I ended up buying a Vera hat.
Some of the alcohol is actually made in Huddersfield so don't imagine that it is being brewed in the back room by Vikings.
