Lindisfarne, also known as Holy Island, is a tidal island off the northeast coast of England, which constitutes the civil parish of Holy Island in Northumberland. Holy Island has a recorded history from the 6th century AD; it was an important centre of Celtic Christianity under Saints Aidan, Cuthbert, Eadfrith, and Eadberht of Lindisfarne. The island was originally home to a monastery, which was destroyed during the Viking invasions but re-established as a priory following the Norman Conquest of England. Other notable sites built on the island are St Mary the Virgin parish church (originally built AD 635 and restored in 1860), Lindisfarne Castle, several lighthouses and other navigational markers, and a complex network of lime kilns. In the present day, the island is an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and a hotspot for historical tourism and bird watching. As of February 2020, the island had three pubs, a hotel and a post office as well as a museum.
Florida woman punches alligator to rescue her dog
It feels like this is no longer even weird. Like, it's a typical Tuesday in Florida. You can't walk down the street there without seeing someone yell "FLUFFY NOOO!" and then punch a gator with a leash hanging out of the corner of its jaw.
Proposed national agenda: Ship Florida’s alligators to Oregon to cull the population of renegade cows.
