The day begins cloudy, and, for once, in many days, indeed weeks, does not turn out to be sunny. Warm, humid and looking as if it is going to thunder, but, nothing happens!
Time to leave Sandringham.
Once a wartime RAF and Army Camp, now a campsite.
Once settled in, we cycle into Woodhall Spa village.
It is like stepping back into the 1940's ! Indeed, there was a "1940's re-enactment" over the weekend we are told. They would not have to do much "re-enacting"! Very quaint.
Woodhall Spa is famous for it's association with RAF 617 Squadron (the Dam Busters) of WW2 fame. We knew nothing of this of course, all credit to Google and Wikipedia!

The day starts cloudy, but, but lunch time, it is sunny, and a rather hot 24C.
We cycle to Horncastle and back, just over 11 miles.
Horncastle is another place which is like stepping back 50 years.
Very nice to see, hardly a National chain present (Tesco and Coop being the only ones I spot). Many small independent retailers populate the high street, however, as is the way with just about every high street throughout the UK, there is a big Charity Shop presence, never a good sign!
We have a coffee, and, I have a piece of excellent fruit cake, paid for by Kathleen. Otherwise, an unremarkable place. Very pleasant cycle ride however.

Yet again, the day begins cloudy, but, no rain, and, by mid-afternoon, it is yet another sunny and hot day.
Home, via a cross country route, taking in the impressive Humber Bridge.
Ken (I assume Kathleen does not follow your blog or if she does, as I have mentioned before, if I were in a similar situation, I would be dead ;-) ) Anyway, I am glad to see that you appear to be getting back to a normal rate of travelling although it appears to be within the UK since May. We have also tested the UK on our trip to Ironbridge (currently covered in plastic and scaffolding but the area was very worthwhile) The trip has no blog entries. We did a number of new tests : Adults Only (excellent fully serviced site, Wheathill, near Ludlow with the outstanding Three Horsehoes next door with good ales and fairly priced good food, Tick. The weather was generally excellent except, of course when we had to pack up as the wind blew, we fought with the awning and I (doing the "outside" jobs) got soaked almost Tick. We had a couple of days getting value from our National Trust subscription at Powis castle (with niece and kids) and Croft Castle, Tick. As you can see, you are not talking to yourself and we are committed to looking after the grandkids sometimes for 4 days on the trot (!) so I hope we can get a spell at Seahouses to end our season for this year.

Hi Doug. Yes we are slowly getting back in the swing of things. We missed our usual long outing in January, mainly because we were attending a (Reay) family wedding. Managed a short trip to France in April. The UK has many attractions, but, it is not really MoHo friendly, and, it is difficult to travel without planning and booking, which I, in particular, dislike.
