Tealby Village.

Tealby is a village and civil parish in the West Lindsey district of Lincolnshire, England, situated on the edge of the Lincolnshire Wolds and 3 miles (5 km) north-east of Market Rasen. The population of the civil parish at the 2011 census was 593

Tealby is noted for the Tennyson d'Eyncourt family, which provided the village hall and school.[citation needed] In the 1980s the school was used for filming the programme Nanny.

I took these photo's in September 2023.

Local school within the village. 

This is a favourite teashop used by walkers and cyclists.

You can take your dog in too, if it's clean!

A pretty cottage in the main street.


The small building on the right is a bridal gown business but for many years begore that
it was the village Butches Shop.

Autumn Crocus.

The road through the old part of the village.

An old Chapel converted into a private residence.

This shop is for curtains, blinds etcetera.

Ticked away in a quiet corner.

"The old mill house"
Many years ago Ernie Wise, of Morcombe & Wise fame, was said to have bought this house.

The water wheel long since gone but the mill race still runs past.



A view along the main street.

The Smooting is the name of a narrow lane here.  Try as I might I can't find any info about it.

A ford takes you through the village on The Viking Way.  A long distance footpath.



Heading back the way we came, back to our car.

Greaniums, same wall.

A lovely stone built cottage.

Wisteria (I think) growing over the porchway.

An extra Photo took a few days ago at my local Fish & Chip shop, Marklews in Cleethorpes.  This panel of glazed tiles depicts their shop and also the fishing industry in Grimsby, which is adjacent to Cleethorpes.    I took it on my mobile phone while waiting for my fish & chips.

Waithe Lane.

 "Waithe (or Waythe) is a hamlet and civil parish in the East Lindsey district of Lincolnshire, England. It is on the A16, 1 mile (1.6 km) south from Holton-le-Clay".

(Above info courtesy of Wikipedia.)

Popcorn & I have been having a few walks along this lane recently.


A stand of Poplar trees, similar to the well known ones on the A16.

We rarely have a walk around our area without seeing someone out riding.


It's quite a windy sort of lane.


The Poplars seen from across the fields.

The lanes and roads have been badly chewed up over
winter where cars & tractors need to pull over to allow
other vehicles to pass.

Over head power distribution poles, some folk think they're a blight on the landscsape
but they don't bother me.


A few views across the countryside.  The land near the coast is very flat.



More Poplar trees.


And I'll finish with an all too common scene along our rural lanes & fields.

Humberston Fitties Foreshore, Winter.

The last post was of photo's taken in the summer at the Fitties.  These pics were taken in January this year late in the afternoon with the sun very low in the sky.

A freezing cold day, frosty start and the odd snow flake in the wind.

A lot more birds now on the creek and the sand bars as we get a lot of winter migrants down here.

Still a few people out for a walk, mostly locals well wrapped up against the cold.

This couple were enjoying the last bit of sunshine.  There's a trend now down on the Fitties
were folk decorate some of the benches.

Shipping on the Estuary and Spurn Lighthouse on the north bank.

The sun has gone from the foreground in this pic as the sun drops down behind the dunes
but is still lighting up the distant beach.

A ferry leaves the Humber ports.

The sun is going down quickly now, just a touch of sunlight on the sand bank.


This jetty has steps down to the beach, the ferry is making good progress.
