One Man and his Dog spends Easter clearing up in Lincoln and Skegness

On Saturday I was in Lincoln town center after spending Easter with family.
I was just sitting outside Wilkos by the river waiting for my family members who went inside, when suddenly walking towards me was Paul and his dog Dave, We were both very surprised to cross paths like that.

I decided to head back to Skegness on the bus with him, And he told me he had been the up steep hill to the top and then Lincoln Cathedral.

Armed with his grabber, he cleared up what ever grabbed his attention and enjoyed looking at the architecture and statue a man and his dog.


So we both headed back to skegness on same bus.

We made arrangements to meet up on Bank Holiday Monday at the Wetherspoon pub to grab a Coffee to start with a caffeine kick..

On this Monday morning I left my home to try grab the 56a across from 12 oars pub to Skegness in the hope that I could get to the pub without leaving paul waiting.

But little did I know, Paul was also having a little delay issue himself.

He had been side tracked by a stroll to the Church farm museum that lead him to this lost and un-aware situation.

I was standing at bus stop opposite the Shops on Burgh Road when suddenly I saw Paul and Dave walking by the Twelve Oars pub.

we were both delayed, but at least now we can walk to wetherspoons together,  as walking to town with someone is safer for me due to my petite mal epilepsy attacks I have been having.

So we got to the pub and sat outside whilst I went to get us both Flat white coffees.
I got help to carry out to table because of my walking aids being a bit of a bother.

Then half way through the mug someone came out from the pub and said we go to leave the pub grounds and we can not get any refills for breaking the rules. as we do not allow dogs unless they are assistant dogs.

I said we are right out here on the street, but even that wasn't allowed, so Paul chained Dave to the railings by the road,  Then he walked in the pub and asked if his dog is at the fence.
Paul wanted a peaceful result that didn't cause too much drama.

The sign showed "No dog allowed inside apart from Assistance Dogs".
And It seemed to me, that both Paul and Dave are Assistance's to each other and may need help to get validation for them both in future.
Dave helps Paul keep his emotions in check.



We then headed to the south end of Skegness beach to plan a safe place to launch my drone that pose any risks to people or nature.

There were people flying kites and the cold Nordic winds were blowing in land, so I decided to launch the drone over the sea out the risk of people and kite strings.

I am collecting footage to make a Documentary with Paul, This will take longer for me to produce, because I need to record interviews with friends of Paul and himself, including voice overs and commentary too.




On the following image
Paul gets an helping hand from 2 beach users who both rush over to pass over some trash for disposal.

Paul has a very creative and innovative side to him, that other people rarely get to know unless they be like minded and strike an understanding and trust. here is a sample of something he made using feathers and broken decaying shells to surround his artistic talents.

He has a very smooth drawing hand and has a unique style that is his own.

Paul is just like me, creative wise, if we were to part with our arts, we need to know that the new owners to really appreciate and understand what our art is about and the story that goes with them.

These images below are an example of my creative passions and my crafty side.

If anyone is willing to be added to the video to let the hearts really show how much they are proud of having Paul saving the people from having a Rubbish Holiday.
Then please get in touch.

If anyone can offer me an aqua workout opportunity in a pool or large bath to help me to try and get myself walking again then I am up for it. My left foot that hasn't moved for 11 years due to a bad accident on the way to start a new job, all the ideas to restore my foot were with Doctor Layfield who sadly committed suicide many years ago.

I need help to become more able again so I can be more productive.
Blogging is just a small part of huge ambitious mind, inventor and writer of poetry songs and stories.
All I want to do is share with the world.

Skegness flood risks rise for 2012

As i live here in Skegness i do wonder when the next surge will arise as i have been watching the surrounding quake readings in the hope of being ahead and smart enough to stand a chance of recovery.

I do think our local councils should make sure the town is ready and set up to deal with any floods.

I have put a clear report bellow to help you learn what we are up against.

So every body can work together to protect each other.

Selling houses in Skegness and up the coast has been very difficult because of the high level insurance prices.

This is also allot of shops closing down or have just closed because of the extreme rates per year being to much.

1953 Floods Lincolnshire underwater - the 1953 floods

 In 1953 huge tides surged along the east coast of England. Lincolnshire did not escape the floods and became swept up in one of the worst peace-time disasters Britain has seen.

On 31st January, 1953, considerable areas along the coast of Lincolnshire were flooded. The Mablethorpe, Sutton-on-Sea and Skegness areas were the most seriously affected parts and forty-three people lost their lives.

It was soon after dusk when the first waves crashed through the sea defences in Mablethorpe and Sutton on Sea and within an hour virtually the whole town including the high street lay underwater.

A terrifying time for everyone living there and for the people drafted in to help. A long and cold night lay ahead.

The destruction didn't stop that night however and the morning's high tide combined with the continuing storm saw the flooding get worse.

It eventually reached more than two miles inland. Help was needed urgently to shore up the defences and the military was brought in.

Of course it wasn't just humans that felt the effect of the flood, the storm also took it's toll elsewhere. Around 200,000 acres of farmland was devastated and hundreds of animals died.

Follow the experiences of Lincolnshire people who were affected by the floods here >>

It is now fifty years since the floods came.
Nevertheless the memories of what happened remain strong. The threat of further flooding is still present and many fear that another crisis could happen.

Flood defence then and now

Look what i stubbled on

Last year in a Local Auction i accidently bidded on a collection of souvenir spoons in a lot containing lots of interesting spoons. This one spoon lead me to look up its history that sure seems interesting if you dont mind me saying so. Take a look at my spoon bellow: Look how this ship resembles a time when its paint job  was the same as this scale model bellow. Now take a look at this old bottle opener that i have found randomly online in brazil  REINA DEL MAR  REINA DEL MAR Here is some of her History S.S. REINA DEL MAR ~ The Queen of the Sea ~ A website dedicated to the History of  Reina del Mar says:. She was the last passenger ship built for the Pacific Steam Navigation Company and their South American service. At the time she was the largest, fastest and only fully air-conditioned passenger liner operating a regular service between the UK, France, Spain and the west coast of South America via the Panama Canal. In 1964 she was withdrawn from the South American service and chartered to the Travel Savings Association (TSA) and converted into a cruise ship. She was sold to Union-Castle Line in 1973 after they had taken full ownership of the TSA. She became their only cruise ship. She was finally withdrawn from service in 1975 and scrapped in Taiwan. I have found that there is other versions of the story of what happened to this ship: ~ Reina Del Mar ~ Reina del Mar was a 13,824 GRT cruise ship which was built by Vickers-Armstrongs in 1950. She served with Furness Withy for fifteen years, then with a Bulgarian company for three years, renamed Varna. She spent much of the 1970s laid up, and was renamed Venus and then Riviera. In the early 1980s, she was renamed Reina del Mar and refitted for further use as a cruise ship but a fire gutted her, and she was scuttled on 1 June 1981 when a further fire broke out.
