    Lincolnshire Day

    in The Broadscot Lounge

    Posted

    One of the questions the reporter asked people about "Lincolnshire Day" in the street was. Who was Mavis Enderby? There were many suggestions who people thought she was. In fact Mavis Enderby is a small village to the east of Horncastle in the Lincolnshire Wolds!!

    Iain. When I was a child I used to race my sister to the top of Steep Hill! But that was long ago. The thought of walking up there today is enough. Fortunately there is a small bus now.

     

    I spent "Lincolnshire Day" In Cleethorpes. The weather was lovely.

    Maurice.

     

    We stayed at The Gunfleet Hotel when we were on honeymoon way back in 1974. Happy memories of the place, and fantastic views. No idea what its like now though.

     

    They were filming the Onedin Line, with the late Peter Gilmour on the quay at the time...........I must be getting old!!

    A sad tale, a happy tale.

    We recently heard a noise in our bathroom. I opened the door, and there was this grey squirrel sitting on the inside window sill eating a walnut he had brought in from the tree in the garden!! He took one look at me, and was gone. We often see him outside though.

     

    We have also had a variety of birds fly into the windows but most have survived.

     

    Looks like the Robin will stay around Martin.

    I have Mariner 2hp. I have owned it for years, and it was second hand when I bought it. It chugs on for ever. I think the only thing I have ever replaced have been an occasional plug, and points. It used in both salt water, and fresh. I do flush it out in fresh water after its had salt water in it.

     

    I had a four stroke Honda on another boat, which performed very well, only problem was it was in a well, and tended to run a little hot. It was also a heavy lump to lift on, and off the yacht.

     

    Guess it depends what you prefer, and the security aspect.
