Bimbling in Brigg

My dentist appointment was for 12.35pm. I was there for 12.30pm and I had to wait outside until they were ready for me. Once inside I had to sanitise my hands, and she asked me a couple of questions. Have I had any covid symptoms, and have I been mixing with a lot of people. No to both. She walked me to the treatment room and asked me to put my bag in a plastic box outside the door. 

The dentist was very nice, we got off to a good start. His surname is the same as my mothers first married name. He has shortened his christian name, which is very similar to my mothers first name. Similar, not the same. I asked him where he was from, I didn't recognise his accent. He is from South Africa. 

After a good prod around, and two x rays, the verdict was, all is fine. I have to ring for an appointment in a years time. 

While I was in Brigg, that's where my dentist is, I thought I would walk down the main street and take a few pics. There was a strong smell of cooked food wafting from some of the shops. It was very tempting to get some chips, but I didn't.  

A phone box, with a real phone inside. 

The clock tower on top of the Tourist Information Centre. 

This building is called, The angel. It is home to a library, a cafe, a small museum, and a function room. 

Lots of hanging baskets dotted around. 

The River Ancholme runs through Brigg. It looked a bit murky, full of weeds. 

There are some narrow passages with small shops. 

And a row of small cottages right in the centre of the town, tucked away down a narrow street. 

I had a spot of lunch when I got back, and as the weather was warm and sunny I went off to do my five mile walk. There is an old gentleman I sometimes see, and today he was out with his dog. He told me he is 90 years old, and his dog is ten. 

I'm going to have the last hour relaxing and watching some videos, so I'll sign off now. We'll catch up soon. Toodle pip.   ilona
