The lighthouse and adjacent keepers’ cottages were built in 1898 by the John Miller company of Tynemouth, using 645 blocks of stone and 750,000 bricks. It was built on the site of an 11th-century monastic chapel, whose monks maintained a lantern on the tower to warn passing ships of the danger of the rocks. The lamp was powered by paraffin, and was not electrified until 1977, St Mary’s was by then the last Trinity House lighthouse lit by oil

Contemplating…2013 27 comments
With 2014 only a few hours away, I have been thinking a lot about what 2013 gave me.
A lot of lows, but in the end, there have been highs aswell.
I have yet again seen myself grown , and hopefully came out stronger then before.
This all with a lot of help from my family, who never gave up,
and special friends, who never stopped believing where I was ready to give up ….
So with this in mind I hope you all leave a good year behind you, and are looking forward to an even better one to come,
And remember,eventhough the settings might not have been, as you expected them to be ,
There will always be new risings …Gelukkig en gezond 2014 from me to you..
