Since the foreacst fo tomorrow seems dire - I took off this afternoon for a Sunday afternoon bimble around South Lincolnshire.

Now I know you all will say "Lincolnshire is the fens - Flat and boring"

Well here are a few photos from which you can make up your own mind

I went to Bourne home of Raymond Mays
