Taking a break

I have been doing this blog for eight years now, time for a reset and a break.

Until I return take a look through the archive on the right.

The World revolves around Cleethorpes

“Global Positioning System (GPS) receivers show that the marking strip for the prime meridian at Greenwich is not exactly at zero degrees, zero minutes, and zero seconds but at approximately 5.3 seconds of arc to the west of the meridian (meaning that the meridian appears to be 102.478 metres east)”. (Wikipedia)

I hope the strip at Cleethorpes is a little more accurate otherwise it will be in the sea.

Wasps Nest

I photographed this old phone box at Wasps Nest [sic] a few years back. It has recently been restored and turned into a local history, picnic place and charity box.

Users of holes

A few more signs from recent walks…
I’d love to hear from anyone who can tell me how the holes are used?

I guess the Cleethorpes brexit dividend never materialised!

Cleethorpes graffiti

I’m not a great fan of graffiti but, when it’s humorous I can forgive the perp. I guess as it’s on the sea bank it could be a Banksy?

Bandit country

I’ve recently been doing some walking just over the border in Sherwood Forest. It was humbling to stand in front of a tree that has lived for a thousand years.
