Is it cheating to ask if it's "whose house this is" or "whose house this was?"

Apologies for the grammar.

Wine has been taken.

And it was still a draw.

That's an easy one for me, I visit regularly about this time every year to get photos of the puffins and terns nesting. The pele tower on Inner Farne on the Farne Islands.

Although I haven't visited this year yet. Apparently (because of Covid) there are very few nesting terns this year. The NT haven't got any wardens there and no visiting tourists/birdwatchers/photographers, so the vegitation has overgrown to the point that there are no suitable nesting sites. Who'd have thought that?

I don't know. The island was originally inhabited by St Cuthbert, then St Aiden, then a series of monks, hermits etc but that would be long before these buildings were there. The only famouse person I know of who lived on the Farne Islands was Grace Darling, but she lived on Brownstone and then Longstone islands .

Close enough, Pic de midi d'Ossau
Didn't think it would go first guess, it's a surprisingly unknown area.

Yes, last time we were there, we stayed directly opposite an artisan village cheese maker. We bought about 2 kilos a day along with home made baguettes and home produced honey and his neighbour's home made wine. At about €20 per kilo, we probably made his summer.
