At the weekend Callum drove us to Northumberland and we stayed on a small campsite a few miles away from Seahouses.
We arrived on Friday and Callum set up the caravan whilst I unpacked. On Saturday, we drove to Seahouses and walked by the sea front. We had fish and chips and ice cream for dinner then queued up for our boat trip to the Farne Islands.
The trip took us around some of the smaller islands where we saw some seals.
As we were sailing along, I took some photos of the rocks (that were absolutely covered in bird crap!) You can spot some puffins in some of the photos. I have to admit I got so excited over the puffins and squealed every time I saw one (sorry about that Callum).
There are some old buildings and a lighthouse on the islands that have long stories behind them. I would recommend going on a boat trip around the islands as they will explain the history of these buildings as you are sailing.
We sailed to Inner Farne and had an hour to spend exploring the island. I took a lot of photos (mainly of puffins) so I'll just leave them below. If you click on the captions they will direct you to websites that will tell you more information.

I have a lot more photos over on my Facebook page CEB Photography if anybody's interested in looking at them.
Once we had arrived back at Seahouses, we wandered around and visited the gift shop. I bought some rock for my parents and some postcards for my collection. I also bought a toy puffin (his name is Dave). Afterwards, we got a pizza and headed back to the caravan.
On Sunday we had to leave fairly early on because I had to get back for work.
I had such a good time exploring Inner Farne and would really recommend going. Our boat trip was a Billy Shiel trip and was really good.
Thanks for reading and look out for my July favourites blog which will be out next week!
