Donna the Potter. (Set 1 of 3).

I recently visited the studio of a local potter and was allowed to photograph items within her studio.

Donna Peterson has her pottery studio in Grimsby, for more information please visit her website via the link below.

Donna's work is on display.

Brexit mugs!

A "surprise mug", what's the surprise?  See below.

At the end of your drink you'll find the surprise.

This is Dudley the donkey, a full sized version can be found in the Pier Gardens

at Cleethorpes.  It was while researching it that I became aware of Donna and her skills.

See more below.

This panel of images on the studio wall features "The Jolly Sailor" which is the town

mascot for Skegness & also Dudley the donkey.  For the full story of how Dudley came

Docks Beers.

"Docks Beers" is a new Pub & Brewery launched in 2018 in a deconsecrated church on King Edward Street, Grimsby, close to the docks. Providing craft beers brewed on the premises where the customers can watch the brewing process from the comfort of their seats whilst enjoying the finished product. 

They kindly allowed me to photograph the interior and it's very different to the usual public house.  For more information regarding Docks Beers please click on their link below.

Docks Beers in King Edward Street, Grimsby.

The public seating area is adjacent to the brewing area so customers can watch

the brewing process as they relax.

This young lady agreed to be photographed & gave me permission to post her

picture on my blog, thank you.

When I was there the brewing area was being cleaned down and I was really impressed

with the shiny vats (probably the wrong term for them) as they made great photo's.

They serve a large range of craft beers in the pub and also in cans.

I got talking to this chap, he too was happy to be photographed and to let me 

post his picture on my blog.

A really interesting pub with a difference, well worth a visit.

Sunny, Frosty Lincolnshire.

Another rare sunny, frosty day in Lincolnshire after all the rain. 

Something colourful in the distance.

A very effective & fun way to keep warm.  The girls' grandma gave me permission

to photograph them.

Frosty leaves.

A typical Lincolnshire sky.

Smoke from a coal fire adds atmosphere to the lane.
