we drove 500 miles round trip and also visited a bee farm where we could buy some natural products. great lip balm according to sue.
This is my great great great grandfather, John Askell.
We went to Mainsbank farm at Stamfordham this is where the Askell family came from John Askell started this farm and we found his resting in the graveyard. It was a dairy farm my mother was born here and lived here until she was three.
This is the statue of the saint who helped Christainity on the Island
The wind whips so hard it erodes the stones
The wind came aound the island really really fast I felt sorry for the horse sue loved the wind it tried reall hard to blow us over. we found some family names in the grave yard.Brighams came from this island. it is a very small island and peacefull and it is where Christianity started in england.
There was a strange man lurking on the island so sue took me home.
We decided to go to Holy island before sue went back to school and see where some of tony's ancestors came from. we left at night on sunday and camped in the van . we were a bit cold but threw some more blanketts on and we slept like toast. breakfast roadside cooked was egg and bacon and sausage. on the way to holy isalnd the angel of the north was near the motorway and as it is one of sues favourite sculptors Anthony Gormley she had to get a picture .We arrived at holy island and had to drive fast across the causeway as it gets cut off by the tide
