Let's look at Market Rasen

Twas a lovely sunny day yesterday. After I finished at Claxby, talking to the owner of the big house, and chatting with a lady who had come to put flowers on a grave, it was time to move on. The Lincolnshire Wolds covers a vast area of hills, villages, farm land and market towns. I see I was last in Market Rasen in July 2013. Time for another visit. Let's start at the Railway Station. 

Looking good, well cared for, clean and tidy. The volunteers do a good job. 

The Methodist Church looking resplendent in it's prime position. By comparing photographs of my last visit gives me an insight on how much my skills have improved. All down to experimenting with different angles and framing the subject matter. 

Let's see what happens when I shoot directly into the sun hidden behind a tree. 

Quirky, I like quirky. I like the way some people put their own stamp on their property with amusing decorations. 

View of the church from the Market Place. I walked around the other side hoping to find a better view of the whole building but a lot of trees were in the way. 

I was interested in this building so goooglied the name to find out more. There is a short video on the site. They had an open day and invited people to come along and comment on the ideas for the property that they were planning. 

I walked up the side of it to get a photo of the size of the property. The back is blocked off like a building site. The area is covered with cameras. I took a photo but now I find that I cannot use it. I wonder if the cameras have anything to do with corrupting the file. Very mysterious.  

More info on Market Rasen House. It was on the market for £795.000 in June 2021. There are a lot of photo's, inside and out, on this Grimsby Live page. I think that with the current climate as it is, local people might be wise to watch what is going on here. 

I note that Market Rasen had a sign up on the roadside that parking was free in 2013. Not so now. I often study these signs in car parks wherever I am. The charges here are quite reasonable. There is nothing to say you can't sleep, or camp in your vehicle, so van lifers might be ok to stop overnight here. 

Hey, look what I found. A quirky colourful house just made for me. 😎😜😁 And I could easily afford it. Trouble is that I have got used to a big garden and lots of open spaces around me. I couldn't move into a box squashed up with lots of other boxes. It's pretty though. 

Time to go home. It will be getting dark soon. The first thing I did was to feed the cats and get the hedgehog food out onto the garden. My hedgies are a mix of big fat ones, and some smaller ones. I had to laugh at the baby, I put a bowl of left over wet cat food out on the lawn. It reached up over the edge of the bowl and fell into it. Normally they all eat dry food, but the younger ones seem to prefer the wet variety. Perhaps their teeth are still developing. 

That's it. Enjoy your Sunday. Toodle pip.   ilona
