Today we went to Craster again, but walked in the opposite direction to yesterday. We headed to Howick Hall and Gardens. The weather was pretty much the same as yesterday, although the wind may have been stronger as we spent a few minutes watching and attempting to take photos of the crashing waves. Onward we went, lunch included, until we came to where we were planning on getting into th Gardens, but the gate had a notice on it saying they no longer allowed people in this entrance! We had to double back on ourselves, and after getting in, we stopped to have a hot drink. Mathew had a pot of Assam tea whilst I had a hot chocolate with marshmallows and cream. I don't usually go for marshmallows on hot chocolate, but I thought it would prevent me from getting a piece of cake....! The top part was nice, but unfortunately I could tell this hot chocolate was made with water. Barely chocolatey!
We walked around the Gardens a bit, although it was more like an arboretum with a bit of landscaping. To be fair, we didn't explore the eastern side so perhaps this is where it was more picturesque. Feet aching, we made our way back home, stopping off at Sainsburys to get some chicken for tonight's stir fry.
