Misty Days.

A few photo's taken on a misty day.

Normanby Park & Gardens.

On our recent visit to Normanby Park to see the Deer being fed we had a walk around the gardens.

These images are in no particular order but just as I took them.

Rear view of the Hall (the front was in deep shadow).

The park has some good walks.

In the walled garden was a wickerwork character reading his book. 

There were several of these wickerwork art pieces in the walled garden.

Most of the greenhouses were empty, just this leftover from Halloween.

The one greenhouse that was still heated was crammed with all the tropical plants.

Rabbit caught red handed in the veg garden.

The front of the Hall, almost in sunlight.

In the old stables was this life sized sculpture.

Also in the stables, this stuffed deer has been preserved for visitors to see.

It was once the dominant male in the herd but died following a fight with another male deer,

Miscelanious Lincolnshire Images.

Happy New Year to everyone.

These are just a few images taken over the last week of 2018 around my favourite areas of Lincolnshire.

The Parish Church at Market Stainton.

Tealby Thorpe, a favourite location of mine which I've photographed many times but, as far

as I can remember, never in the winter.

A wintery sky which allows us to see the skeleton traces of the trees. 

"The Rambler's Church" at Walesby, so called as it sits on the long distance footpath

"The Viking Way" offering walkers somewhere to sit and rest.

Each Christmas ramblers from far & wide come to this church for a special service 

dedicated to them.

A windswept "Big Sky" with a typical field headland.

The old Village Hall at Stainton le Vale.  The small cubicle just to the left of the entrance

is a Portaloo, left open for Ramblers to use.  Very convenient (sorry couldn't resist it).

St. Andrews Church at Stainton le Vale.

This large painting is over 6 feet in width, restored in the memory of a parishioner.  

Another typical "Big Sky" view which Lincolnshire is known for and also showing the 

rolling nature of the Lincolnshire chalk hills.

So that's all for 2018.

Pawnshop Passage.

Another secluded area in the market town of Louth, this is the last in the series.

A small alleyway in Louth, Lincolnshire, leads through to a delightful collection of bespoke shops.  If you miss it then you've missed out on a delightful shopping area, the way in is called "Pawnshop Passage", off Mercer Row.

This way in.

A lovely old style sweet shop, just as I remember them from my childhood.

The way back to Mercer Row.
