Skegness is so bracing, in fact, today the wind is like daggers of ice piercing even the thickest, warmest of clothing.
James was due to go home today but the snow in Yorkshire made it unwise to travel so we have arranged to stay another day. Cycling too would not be a pleasure, indeed may be positively dangerous and progress would be slow.
So to Skegness and then Ingoldmells where my brother and sister in law (Edward and Carole) have a caravan, it must be very disappointing for all those looking forward to their Easter break to find that we are experiencing the coldest March in living memory. We went down to the sea front where the wind made standing still difficult and stung our faces numb.
We are now awaiting Edward as he tries to get from snowbound Sheffield (flakes the size a half crown).
You may remember I mentioned the pub in Old Bolingbroke did not appear very welcoming, here a picture of the board outside the pub.
As I have not been able to photograph much today here is a picture of a window in the Chapter House of Lincoln Cathedral.
Good night.
Evening Robin - what a day! We have had a day-long blizzard, with at least 18 hours to come. Help!
ReplyDeleteGlad you're keeping ok, and hope you esccape the snow. Do you dream of cycling in Majorca or France instead? I got out for 10 miles last night in the most bitter wind but I knew it would be the last ride for a few days.
Cheers, Simon
Hi Robin, yes good days not to be cycling. On such a bleak day a warm welcome in a good old fashioned English pub is just what you needed, ah well. We too have been smitten with continental type winter conditions, a foot of snow at the back door and drifts everywhere. Both Boston and Lincoln look lovely, even in the winter. Good luck. Mark.
