Day 183 - 12:30pm, 3 Juy 2019
It's the turn of the tidal island of Lindisfarne - or "Indiscipline" as my spellcheck would have it - otherwise known as Holy Island, another family favourite.
Lindisfarne never fails to disappoint. No matter how busy the island gets, and it does, the visitors never seem to compromise its peacefulness, nor detract from the sense that the place is devoid of time. Of course, it most definitely isn't, as anyone who has ever witnessed the mass exodus of bodies and cars that occurs when the causeway is about to flood will know.
We have only ever been on Lindesfarne when it can be reached from the mainland, but staying on the island when it is fully adrift from the mainland is definitely on the bucket list for another year.
