We had the idea of going up to the Seal colony today to get some pics of the seals... Nature was against us though...

The tide wasn't out enough to make this channel narrow enough to wade through... You can seee the seals all huddled together sunning themselves...


The odd one was in the sea though...


So I thought if I can't get the seals, I'll get the oystercatchers...


And a jellyfish...


And an abandoned shell...

Headed into the Louth area today, Went up the spire of St James Church...

Saw a few gargoyles up there...









On the walls of the stairs there is graffiti - some of it really old...






Then a look at the stonework and views up there...











Looking out towards the sea...








And a view over to the windfarm...



And then it was down the stairs and outside...



The stairs had little slit windows in them.. but they didn't really give out much light so were artificially lit too....


How far up we'd been...








Intersting in how there are gargoyles at the top, and people at the bottom...





Rebecca doing something!


And then we headed back, but not before stopping off at the abandoned St Botolphs Church on the Saltfleet road...















After that we headed home and then into Mablethorpe where we met up with some friends and their grand-daughter....
