Cleethorpes Carnival Parade, 28th June 2024.

A few photo's from my archive for this post.  I took these at the 2024 Carnival Parade, a lovely warm summer evening and this was the last bit of the route.  Hence not a lot of spectators here so I could get clear views of the parade and move about.

This years Carnival Parade followed a different route and access was pretty cramped, plus the light not so good.   

The post is just a succession of  photo's, no text or narrative required.  Hope you like them.





















Of course, I had to find a doggy pic!

Or two.

Market Day in Louth.

 Following on from my last post when I visited the Milliners Shop in Louth, Popcorn and I had a walk around the Market area and shops in Louth.

After leaving Ian Bennett,s Millinery shop we were back out into New Street again.
The Market Place is in the distance.



Various stalls at the market plus folk enjoy refreshments in the morning sunlight.


I always like to see hat stalls.

I can't resist this close viewpoint.

The plant stall was packed with lots of really good plants.



People sat in the shade alongside the market stalls.

A view along Mercer Row, various shops and businesses.

Swing 90 degrees to my right and there's the outdoor market with the old indoor 
Market Hall and clock tower.

Vegetables on this stall, he was doing a roaring trade.

Beautiful fresh produce from the Lincolnshire growers.

One of many alleyways and ginnels, there are many in Louth.


Enjoying some time in the sun.


Another of my strange choice of viewpoints.

At last, I got my customary "doggy shot", not many about that day! 

Boquete's of flowers on this stall. 

Gorgeous.

Walking away from the market, we had a stroll along Eastgate to the main shopping area.

Cars were backing up here, very busy and a pedestrian crossing just around
the corner is backing the traffic up.

This lady is doing a great trade selling cheeses.


A shop I may go back to and ask if I can take photo's inside.  On another day.

Another passageway but, on this occasion it was the sign for dogs ice cream  
that caught my eye.

Into Queen Street now, on our way back to the market area.  Some lovely Georgian
house along here.

The Turks Head, always popular.

And then back to Mercer Row and the market area.

Popcorn and I headed back to our car along New Street, we always start and finish
our walks here, my favourite place in Louth.

A last look behind us to the Market Place and then home for dinner.

Thank you for visiting my blog, hope you enjoyed Louth, we do.
