From our cottage, it was a ten minute drive to Warkworth - a beautiful little village we had passed through on our holiday back in 2007, but had not had the time to visit properly. Because we drove through Warkworth pretty much every day this holiday, we had plenty of opportunities to visit this time. In fact, on only day two, we found a dog friendly pub - while it was still warm enough to sit outside in the beer garden - the weather deteriorated over the course of the following ten days!
We popped back to Warkworth a couple of times - once for a craft fair, and once to replenish fruit wine supplies! The village store sold everything - including the fruit wine, mead, knitting magazines and postcards - all we needed really!
On one of our trips into Warkworth, I went to visit St Lawrence's Church - a lovely community church with a really lovely feel. The flower ladies were getting the church ready for a funeral the next day - normally a sombre occasion - but they were getting in a bit of a tizzy as they had "an embarrassment of flowers". Normally they are scrabbling around to make their arrangements, but they'd got so many flowers for this particular lady, that they didn't know what to do with them all! How lovely.
