On our way back from Boston where we visited my Grandparents grave, we took a brief pit stop in the small Lincolnshire town of Sleaford. There were clear skies as we left Nottingham, but by the time we were in Boston there was heavy fog and freezing cold temperatures and that’s how it stayed for … More Pit Stop in Sleaford
We visited Lincoln Christmas market last year for the day and thought how nice it would be if we went again this year, but stayed for a couple of nights.
