Dry, sunny, and 10c, but, the strong wind makes it feel colder.
Today is our 36th Wedding Anniversary.
A bus ride (No 3) into Lincoln.
This was something of a rural tour, via Reepham and Cherry Willingham. I think we were the youngest people on the bus, other than the driver. Definitely a surplus of zimmer frames and walking sticks.
The usual visit to shops we have at home (Marks & Spencer, Next, etc) to confirm that they do not have anything more appealing than their Newcastle or Metro Centre based outlets, followed by a very nice lunch at La Trattoria Da Vincenzo. I found this place on Google, it is novel, a restaurant, located in what is, or was, once a terraced house. A short walk from the shopping centre, but, I don't really see how you would ever find it, unless you knew it was there.
We did check out the area around Brayford Pool, which, I thought, given it's history, may have had some pleasant eateries, but, all we found was modern concrete and glass developments, occupied by semi fast food major names.
Sadly, Lincoln was bit of a disappointment, all rather shabby and run down, it makes Sunderland look affluent, and, that is an achievement.

Dry, cloudy, and 10c, but, that strong wind is still spoiling things.
It is is granddaughter, Salma's birthday today, 7 years old. Hopefully, we will manage a FaceTime Call later today.
Morning of "chores', and reading.
The cloud turns to drizzle type rain, so, no outdoor activities today.

Rather similar to yesterday, dry, cloudy, and 10c, but, the wind has subsided somewhat.
Bicycles are unloaded, and, we go cycling along Sustrans NCN1, which, at this point, runs along an old railway track, formerly called "The Water Railway"
Not bad considering we have not cycled for two months.
The date and time on camera is incorrect, must remember to check in future, if they have been dis-used for a while.

Probably the nicest day of the week, today, 13c, typical!
