Happy Anniversary Mark and Michelle. 20 years today.
Had to do some work this morning but after lunch went to Tattershall Castle. I like properties that are a bit different and this one certainly is. The castle is basically a tower with five stories and a roof. There is one large room in the centre of each floor and a turret at each corner. Three of the turrets on each floor contain small rooms and the other the spiral staircase. There used to be other buildings around it but they are no longer there. It was built in the 15th century of locally made brick which is unusual. The view from the roof was very good. I could see a water park with speedboats racing round and an area for water skiing. The stained glass windows are not 15th century.

On the way back I stopped off to visit the local town of Woodhall Spa. It is a Victorian spa town with large Victorian houses and a parade of shops (including three charity shops where I got some beads and some hand made coasters. I also got a book from the bookshop at Tattershall Castle).
There is also a memorial to the 617 squadron 'dam busters' who were based at Woodhall Spa.

Behind the shop on the corner with the blue signs there is a wood managed by the Woodland Trust. I had a little walk there as I had read about a 'Kinema in the woods' and wondered if it was here. I didn't find it. I should have looked up where it was first. Woods were pretty though with lots of squirrels scampering about.
