Improving A Market Town?


Photo oppurtunities around the Grade 2 listed parish church, the old Georgian pubs & wharf buildings, tend to be rich in ornament. Vintage vehicle shows and coastal runs-out can bring old characters and familiar engine notes from one's youth. Two rivers, surrounding woods and rolling countryside afford much wildlife and spotting photography, with the antiquity trade and host of small independent shops providing more photogenic fayre.

 DANGER ZOMBIES 

 The British and US Governments making contingency plans for zombie invasion: ambient zombie level, enhanced activity level, major outbreak, and zombie pandemic level. . . Will Horncastle prove to be immune, or is it infected already???
Why would North east Lincolnshire Council have information about Nightmares? - Just what rates of Council Tax and how many refuse bins are they planning for 2013. . .

Why did the Landlord of the Old Nicks pub completely scour off all the old paint and totally revamp the Victorian windows through 2012 - to have it fresh for Dec and '13...

Whatever you planned for 2012, whether it was cowering in a nuclear bunker in Nevada; dancing naked at your nearest ancient stone circle; meteor watching and triffid dodging; playing ping pong with a giant rogue long period asteroid, or travelling to a 9-5 as though nothing was happening, it could all have been ameliorated by a short break in the Lincolnshire Wolds.
