Day 5 Lincoln. I do enjoy looking round new places and although there are similarities with other cathedral cities like York and Durham, each has it's own distinctive identity. Lincoln has it's own selection of delights first stop the Museum of Lincolnshire life which was well set out with worrying number of artifacts that I remember being in use. I then enjoyed a coffee and muffin (double chocolate) at a lovely shop dedicated to selling clothes and goods relating to Tibet (Lincs2tibet) and had chat with the interesting staff and customers.
I have also visited the Usher gallery and museum that contain some fascinating exhibits and artifacts including a bronze shield from 3 b.c. recovered from the river Whitham.

Picture catch up.
Ready for off (does this remind you of that poster of James Dean in Rebel without a cause or perhaps of Bradley Wiggins ?).
Lincoln Cathedral at night in heavy snow.
One of those old style windmills that no one objects to even though they produce no electricity
Pictures are great, I hope the weather is kind to you although I believe the forecast isn't too good. x
ReplyDeleteHi Robin, I went back and read loads of your blogs, so very enntertaining, and spent the last few days trying to work out how to "comment" so we'll see if this works. We were in Sheff on Sunday, what a coincidence it would have been.... Your journey sounds wonderfully exciting and I'm very jealous. However, TAKE CARE, we want you back in one piece and fighting fit, well actually, not fighting fit, just your normal fitness or we won't cope. Keep on blogging, Jane (hockey) PS wish i had caught the organ recital whenever it was...
