Thank you so much for joining me as I traipse around the wondrous north east of Britain; land holy wherever one treads. Today I travelled from Langley Castle to Hexham Abbey and then to Heavenfeld, finally arriving this evening at the foot of Bamburgh village. Thank you for your support, generosity and kindness.

Love Gretel 🕯️🫖🤍
