Amble

Amble was the nearest town - of any size - to where our cottage was and, consequently, we had to drive past it everywhere we went!   The lovely lady we had chatted to earlier in the holiday had told us that we really HAD to try the ice cream parlour and the chippie in Amble -and we did go and have our fish and chips there.  Sitting in the car, looking at the boats.  Boat trips run from the harbour, but pretty much every time we popped into the town, the weather was a bit grim. 

Amble High Street is a funny old affair - lots of quite old fashioned shops, including a rather lovely wool shop that we really couldn't pass by without a little browse.  Oh, and a purchase of course!
