A walk through Laughton Common exposes the life of the forest floor, a seemingly common dumping ground. If only the wishing well worked.

Dyke Scarecrows
Scarecrow festivals are seemingly popping up everywhere these days. I have to admit that I was slightly underwhelmed by the general standard of scaryness on display. I actually saw a bird sat on one but I managed to scare it off before I could take its picture. Perhaps I should have been on display.

Sex in the Country
Being in out of the way places possibly offers a degree on anonymity that a high street store would not. My mind genuinely boggles at why these places exist anyway. I love that it opens seven days a week, just in case you get caught short of needing a pair of fury handcuffs on a Sunday afternoon.

Disgrace
I have tried to avoid urban conurbations for this project but wandering past Brayford Pool at the side of the University yesterday I came across this sorry sight and had to share. I don't think I need to say more.

Are we there yet?
So, this is where I officially kickoff my new side-project about the Lincolnshire coast...
I have also added earlier images of the coast to a separate page. I'll be creating a separate blog site for this project soon (it will work in Safari on the iPad as well). In the meantime, this is my first foray - Mablethorpe.
Welcome to Fantasy Island
I have never had a proper family holiday although, up to the age of about 10 we did go for days out to the seaside. My enduring memories of the seaside are the paraphernalia, smells and architecture. This is a 57 year old selfie, It's been a while but I'm pretty sure this is the exact spot in Mablethorpe where my father took the original. The elephant was bright pink, of course!
A wide selection of inclusive and health conscious confections in the cock shop
Captain Jack's crazy golf
An Englishman's home is his bouncy castle
It's a sundial!
Foreign shells sold on English beaches - not very brexit!
Hook's Island crazy golf. There seems to be a huge amount of pirate themed crazy golf.
I'm guessing a lot of older folk traditionally retire to the seaside and they bring their dogs with them. Even the smallest towns have several mobility shops, pet clothing shops and charity shops.
The sun never sets on the Empire. I wonder where the first ever seaside holiday destination evolved?
