Skegness Miniature Village is No More

It's Official the Model Village in Skegness is being completely demolished, 

An Historic attraction is being completel

y removed to make way for a Jurassic Dinosaurs  theme.

I would have thought people would of liked to make peace with their memories that go on to about  61 years or so.

 Even on the trustpilot and all the internet still show that the village is still there and nothing saying its going to be removed.

People could be planning to revisit their child hood memory only to have their hearts.

There is 2 epic trees on the site.

They are 2 huge major pine trees with micro pine cones on them, each branch is like a giant tree of it's own.

It would be great to have them dated too.

I think these trees should be an attraction of their own.

I am not sure if a Jurassic Dinosaurs attraction will be big enough for this small area.

What is your opinion on this new development. 

Do you have any photos to share of memories there?

It's sad that they didn't let people know that they were going to change it.

The owner of Tower arcade now owns the aquarium and the minture village plot.

There is a Black hole opening up In Skegness

This morning I went to get my Astra Vaccine so I was near sea front.

I noticed a hole in the ground and it looks like there is lots of space inside too.

Looks easy for someone to have an accident.

This is between two roads and more likely public right of way.

Its obviously going to get bigger over time.

Seems with sand so low on beach, maybe its causing sand under land to start to erode. 

Hopefully everything will be alright. 

It's not just pot holes in roads that are a problem the many footpaths also are causing accidents. 

The Haunting of Bly Manor

Perfectly friggin not Splendid. 

I am not as easily annoyed or irritated. 

But if that girl says Perfectly Splended any more.

Then that is it.

It's just like:

10 print "Perfectly Splending"

20 goto 10

Run

Perfectly Splendid perfectly splendid perfectly splendid perfectly splendid perfectly splendid perfectly splendid perfectly splendid perfectly splendid perfectly splendid perfectly....ect

Who friggin wrote this? 

Are they trying to make it un forgettable?

Well it is, I do watch everything and make an effort,  but this is so so friggin perfectly annoying .

The unexpected Birthday Bash Literally

 On September the 28th 2020 during an early dark evening I met up with my mum and dad to celebrate my birthday as I had not seen my dad in over a year. I use a mobility scooter to get around due to Lower spinal damage and impairment's in my legs. My dads' current level of copd and his health has declined so much that he must use a powered wheelchair to get around. He risks his dignity and health to make the trip to Skegness to see me on this day with all his effort. Even as we sit around a table at the Trawlers catch, he sat there with his chips just to feel part of the table. Even though he could manage only 2 or three chips he was showing that he really wanted to join in but couldn't and he just sat there in a daze. And since I last saw him last year, I can see that things are degrading in him so much. He also has a pacemaker to monitor his heart. So, this day was a very important day for me mainly because I got to see him. After our meal, we headed to the Artisan Skegness café. They were closing early in about 20 minutes time but my dad said that’s still enough time. So, we taken a seat before having a nice hot drink. And it was getting on to just pass 7 before we had finished our drinks to leave. I saw them safely to Rutland road to Sherwood B&B on Rutland Road but my dad needed emergency toilet so as he had to scale some step to get relief and limited with mobility access. I talked with my mum outside, she wanted to make sure that I let her know when I get back safe because it got so dark early. I explained my route to my home near Aldi supermarket off burgh road. I am a caring person when around public and always offer them the right of way and always pride myself to reduce my speeds because do care. So, let's get back to my journey home I had just crossed road by a B&B on corner before making a safe decision to use pavement due the darkness on roads and my past accidents dealing with holes. I drove in centre of pavement to avoid small creatures and people, but little did I know, A force suddenly caused a shunt force through front bumper strait up my back and bent back my wheels into the bodywork. And yet I was confused as I saw nothing at all dead in front of me, I had my headlights on but the glare from my dash board was too bright like having a torch light in face and when wearing glasses, now that makes it worst. I climbed off my scooter whilst holding tight with scooter steering to try feel for whatever stopped me. And then I felt a solid bollard and still could not see it at all. I got on my seat confused by asking myself why a bollard there, Then I looked to my right to try and workout why it was so dark there. The streetlight wasn’t even on, and I noticed it was still early in the evening. As I tried to reverse up, I noticed my front wheels bent into my bodywork, As I felt the body work near wheel, a piece broken off from body, and this was the only way wheels could go around. There was a person looking down from a window at me in distress but he had zero interest of being of help and just watched quietly and that made me at un ease, So made an effort to get back to my flat, even though scooter was going to the left and had limited turning. I don’t normally have pains in my back when sitting up, but I did during my difficult drive to my home. I had a very difficult time trying to get it in my flat with limited turning. I had a hard time to relax because I think my body is in shock or something 

Now people are asking me, am I insured? 

Now here I am going to explain my awkward situation regarding that.

 At the end of 2019 my sister referred me to a company who can let me set up an arrangement that would allow me to get out more. After lots of Taxi costs and a recent accident that could have left me with a second ankle injury because of very bumpy dark pavement from going by the bungalows before the car-park to the shopping complex of Aldi M&S etc. I needed mobility to help, as walking also caused immense back pains just after a few steps. 

Here is how I got my scooter:

Someone visited to explain everything and my choices and options. And set a date for bringing over scooters to see what I should have. There was a model that was perfectly for me and my larger body and documents were wrote up for me but the scooter in question turned out to be slightly too wide because of a storage heater that is never used. It would take me some time before I get permission to move it. So, he left travelled back to where ever he came from. So, they ended up sending someone else with the agreed scooter the kymco agility.

 Then I asked them to update the changes on the agreement pack and welcome documents.

 But it seemed in the end that I was still paying the same money as the better more expensive model. 

But they said that’s normal and taken advantage of my situation. 

I am not very good with forms at all so it takes me a while to really understand what is going on sometimes. But they speedily set the process up and confused me with payment dates and told me I get the first 3 months of platinum cover with my scooter. So just before the 3-month cover was nearing I had calls from the company's insurance, I had told him that I have already called the mobility company and talked to someone who promised me a call back. I emailed and Left messages and even when the insurance called me back. I told him I am running out of time but still I tried to get In-touch with anyone at office. They closed down the office and the staff are all self-isolating so there was no one to help me continue my Platinum cover. It seemed there was no service at all even if I was still valid. So, I had to accept that I can only rely on myself now. I was left to try and survive all by myself, I have puncher emergencies had hard time getting replacement inner-tubes because shops were all closed. Lucky for me, A local mobility company PEOPLE FIRST Mobility brought an inner tube to my home, and allowed me to pay for it when shops open again. Not long after another puncture and another inner-tube it was costing me a arm and a leg and being forced to stay in. So, it taken me a while but I finally got solid in filled tyres at the back 2 wheels. Not only have I been paying more for a less quality scooter than originally planned. The scooter they have given me has a serious safety issue as I mentioned above. How this has passed safety I have no idea. If only they let me continue the cover, I would have been covered. So, feel I may have a claim against them, I don’t want to do this, but now I am stranded and stuck paying loads of money every month for no access. Just turning key brings up flashing spanner, Meaning the scooter knows it is very damaged.

it is very obvious at the wheels that its really bad, 

It's just ashame the bumper has no shock absorbing ability to the shockwave. 

 If anyone can assist me here, I will be very grateful

Sunrise Bay viewing platform early morning economy

I have seen some amazing sunrise  for the first time recently and nobody told me that seeing them live with real eyes was so much more extra special.  

I recently filmed some amazing sunrises only slightly higher than my pov and got some amazing sights. Also I have come to realise that Skegness could use the sunrises to create an early morning economy creating a place people can view the sunrise and buy a tea coffee or even have a sunny side up breakfast, if we were to build a platform that goes up from a slope up where the grass sandy bank, towards lifeguards hut and make it accessible to everyone,  and have a gift shop and refreshments located with perfect seating for people to watch the sunrise, maybe put see through windows views to allow viewing with comfort.  That slightly higher point of view will boost the magical view making for the perfect reflections of the sun as it rises.   services around the moment could make for early morning economy,  sell the sunrise  (Services) 

But the actual platform should be free for people to view the sunrise,  and make it possible for it to be seen any time of the year.

People talk about things to improve, with the 50 million to be used in Skegness. 

But alot of suggestions are very basic improvements to service that are part of normal services like keeping the street lights on. When that's about reserving energy than money. Maybe they could leave them on a bit longer to allow people on foot to be able to see where they are walking. 

Anyway back to the look out perch.

 I notice that every year the sandy grassy bank becomes a trash den for hiding used diapers and I  know this because I  know the Jolly Litterman of Skegness,  and he finds so many, he has even broken grabbers whist trying to pick them up.

The sand bank is also eroding and putting up this viewing platform will hide that eye saw 

Offering something that everyone can make use and its base could add to the sea defences at the same time.

It maybe possible to construct the base by re using old materials and not only could it sell the sunrise to people, I could be used as a thank you to everyone who helps keep the beach tidy.

There could be a wall with local arts on, that could be used to prevent cold chills rattling the bones of the viewers.

There are many people who are awake very early in the morning, but there isn't anywhere to go. 

I have seen the sun up at 4am and the town open up at 9am.  That's a missing possible early morning economy right there.

If the viewing platform live streams the sunrise online. People will want to see it for real. It would be the talk of the town.

As soon as I heard about the money offered to the town, I knew that I needed to share this.

My concept of layout is just an idea, but the finished product maybe different,  but as long as it offers every body that view, people will love it.

If you all like this idea, please add your vote to it.

 There is also something unique about our sunrise, the wind turbines offer an optical illusion, the sun looks like its rising infront of the turbines.

Complete Sunrise Skegness 4K *no Adds*

Here is a Complete Sunrise from before to its beautiful emerging of golden light.

Take my word for it right now, Seeing this with your real eyes beats any video or photo any day of the week.

I have made this for all those people who can't get out to see it and for the people who simply want to chill out to it.

If you have seen the real thing in Skegness, Then you may have noticed there is normally an optical Illusion where the sun appears to be in front of the wind turbines.

The 2 people walking by the video, I got permission to film them the day before this recording.

Every morning they go for a swim in the sea, Apparently it is Their daily routine.

I am yet to film them using my drone.

so please follow my blog and I will put together a Video Interview with them in the very near future.

so see it first here

air ambulance to incident at Skegness clock tower

Air ambulance crews landed on Skegness beach around 6am this morning to an incident where a cyclist was brought down by a van, apparently he has bad injuries but not be life threatening. 

the thing that is so strange is that the time of the incident would have been very quiet with traffic so how did this happen,  unless it was deliberately done in rage.

The van is a dull navy blue in colour, and the back of the wheel on the bike is pinned down under the transit Van's front right wheel.

I came out for the sunrise for  05:20 am  and the accident mist have happened around 6am.
