Editor On 30 and 31 August I was honoured to welcome Paul Steele to Lincolnshire for a number of reasons … Firstly I knew that as a county we would be propelled into the travel world as a ‘must-see’ UK travel destination. In addition the thought of showing a much-respected travel writer some of the great [...]
September 16th, 2011 Editor On what can only be described as a beautiful autumnal day we were fortunate enough yesterday to visit Lincoln Cathedral to learn more about the immense restoration programme planned for the two West Front turrets. The 16 week programme to erect scaffolding around the first to be restored, the South West turret, is now complete [...]
September 5th, 2011 Editor I’m delighted to report that I’ve received a letter from my Member of Parliament Mr Edward Leigh, who has in turn heard back from the Ministry of Defence in connection with our request that the decision to not award Bomber Command with a dedicated campaign medal at the end of World War 2 be revisited. [...]

August 27th, 2011 Editor Very occasionally I will look out of my window as I’m making my first cup of tea of the day and think how I’d love to pop out to take a few photographs. You see there is something quite magical about a Lincolnshire summers morning when the sun is shining and the early morning mist [...]
August 24th, 2011 Editor I have a dreadful confession to make … Despite being born and bred in this county until recently I had never visited the Museum of Lincolnshire Life. Not until this week, when I took my seven year-old along to enjoy the experience. Now most parents approach visits of this nature with a sense of underlying [...]

July 4th, 2011 Editor Last year I took my trusted digital SLR camera and (very heavy) tripod for a little trip around Lincoln Cathedral. The results were pretty good, but I was on the road to exhaustion after I’d finished lugging my kit around for the best part of two hours. So, given all the hype we’ve seen about [...]

June 29th, 2011 Editor When it comes to accommodation there is something to suit everyone’s tastes in Lincoln’s cathedral quarter (frequently referred to as ‘Bailgate’ on this site) ranging from smart bed and breakfast establishments to 5 star rated hotels.

June 28th, 2011 Editor We were very excited to recently discover these wonderful images of Lincolnshire produced by Peter Barton and as such we were thrilled when he agreed to us producing this gallery of his stunning work. In particular we love the abstractness, the minimalism and of course the feeling that emanates of the vast beauty of the [...]

June 24th, 2011 Editor If you follow us on Twitter you will notice that we tend to start each day with a “good morning from lovely Lincolnshire” tweet … And it has occurred to me that we really should bring some proof to the table that the county is as lovely as we’re stating on a daily basis! On [...]
June 14th, 2011 Editor Up until very recently I was unaware of the fact that RAF Bomber Command is the only section of the serving forces not to have received a campaign medal for their sacrifice and contribution during World War II. To say I was shocked at this discovery would be an understatement. From the fifty-four airfields within [...]
