A Life Time Adventure - Scunthorpe

We stayed in Winterton, a small village North Lincolhshire. There are lots of houses here but with only two supermarket, Tesco Express and Cooperative Supermarket.




Porsche new mascot? :D

Pigeons here are huge! Like Kampong chicken size.


We went into one of the larger town nearby, Scunthorpe which is an iron mining town. The shopping area was appropriately named the Foundry. It is a nice place to be and it is a pedestrian mall so no danger of traffic.

Was told no longer in operation, I was told.

New Blooms 

Spring is here!
