East

All Saints Church, Greetwell

The empty gate house at Greetwell

I was down at our local bus stop at 8.45 this morning and as luck would have it a no.88 appeared straight away. We sped into the city centre in the bus lane and I was down at the railway station at 9.15, ready to catch the 9.39 train to Lincoln.

Lincoln is 55 miles east of Sheffield and by car without traffic hold ups you can complete the journey in  more or less the same time that the train takes. But I didn't want the driving today. It was nice to sit in a train carriage reading my book.

Once in Lincoln, I set off eastward along the north bank of The River Witham. Soon I was out in the countryside on what was a bright morning as the weather people had promised. I was heading for Fiskerton and then on to Cherry Willingham. but I made a detour at Greetwell in order to take a few pictures of All Saints Church which dates back to at least the eleventh century. 

By the time I got to Phoenix Fiskerton, time was running out on me. I needed to march to Cherry Willingham like a soldier if I was going to catch the 3pm bus back into Lincoln as planned. If I missed it, I would have an hour to wait and I then would miss the 16.17 train back to Sheffield. 

But I made it and in Lincoln I treated myself to a small burger meal with a latte at "Wendy's".  The images above and below this writing were  taken today.

Magnificent Lincoln Cathedral still looks 

over the surrounding landscape. Once the

tallest building in the world.
