I'm making a list. Google maps are open, a digital compass is swinging left to right; large mug of very milky tea and a pile of coconut biscuits by my laptop. Places to visit in the UK... September to December. Things of interest to do. I've abandoned my annual winter trip to Gran Canaria (no sun this year) because of the uncertainty and hassle of vaccine passports, tests, and quarantine restrictions etc. I've given up on the idea of any foreign travel until next year when, with some luck, everyone will have got so fed up with being stamped, swabbed and scanned that things will return to normal and 2020 and 2021 will be an unpleasant but distant memory for most. This will be two years in a row that I've had my international wings clipped. None of the inept shower down in Westminster will ever getting my vote at an election! But I digress! I've travelled to most parts of England, and a few regions in Scotland and Wales. I'm sure, though, that there are still hundreds of places of interest and attractions to visit around Great Britain that I've yet had the pleasure to visit and experience. If you have any thoughts, recommendations, suggestions, I'd be generally appreciative and demonstrably grateful for the opportunity to tap them into Safari and get my research going.
Lincoln is nice. Cathedral city. And many other old buildings.
Agreed, I've been to Lincoln once on a nice hot sunny day. It is hilly so you need to be fit. It made a nice change from York, which I've visited maybe fifty times.
Intelligent and sober! Good qualities in a human.
Me neither.
Not a pub person. I don't drink alcohol.
There's 2 major venues right next to each other. Not counting pubs.
I enjoy having a mooch around music shops. I also look to see if there are any live music venues in the area (or even just a random cafe with a piano). Like the fine lady of Banbury Cross, I shall have music wherever I go!
You're going to come here and purchase a Piano? Or do you just like looking at music shops? There's a good record shop.
It does look very quaint and very much the kind of town I'd enjoy. I avoid big cities. I'm going to see if there's a music shop anywhere or some place with a piano.
I have been here most days for nearly 4 decades. I'm a Yellerbelly. Glad you enjoyed visiting our part of the world.The standup Stewart Lee visited us a few years back and described uphill as the thinking part of town and downhill as the fighting part. A humorous generalisation.
