Met Office UK Rain Forecast  There could be a humungous slow loading Met Office widget here; do click through to their map for such things! So much of a Staycation in Britain naturally depends on the notorious UK weather, but forecasters ruin many planned coast trips and antique hunts - forecasts regularly don't apply to Horncastle, which invariably is bike ride weather when it 'should' be snowing or heavy rain. The terrible storms of winter 2013-14 never happened here; we had one tile off the Lloyds bank roof... Horncastle Weather   Keep an eye on the latest weather fronts moving in from the Atlantic and snow coming down from the North. Tourists and visitors are often surprised to find that the bottom of the Lincolnshire Wolds tends to have it's own micro climate. Often the heaviest of the Westerley Atlantic storms are tired after their trip over the Pennines, tending to slide out to sea down the Witham from Lincoln and into The Wash. To the North they do similar down the Humber from Sheffield, and into the Sea at Cleethorpes, avoiding Horncastle.    Detailed Week Ahead Forecast  The Easterly winter storm winds generally get blocked by the 450ft high Wold and Heath to the North East. Quite often the weather at Lincoln is different to Horncastle which is different to the Coast, with only 40 miles seperating the 3 areas.   From the Wold above Horncastle, it's possible to see the Nitrous brown smog that blankets Nottingham, and to a lesser extent, Lincoln. At 20 miles the town is probably the furthest place to which   seagulls come to actively, and I can occasionally catch the North Sea's aroma, having been born and bred in the Midlands. In late spring, it's funny to hear the young crows coming up from the fen making seagull shrieks, as this is all they've ever known. Later in the season, after some time spent with inland rookeries, their call reverts back to a 'caw'.     iLincolnshire    Holy weather in Britain?.. ..enough to make the Angels cry..    AccuWeather.com  Lincolnshire Weather Stations Willingham  Louth  Long Sutton Grimsby Geo Info    Ordnance Survey Map  No matter which way you come into the town, it's downhill; indeed, Spilsby, out near the fens, is higher asl.

Likewise the   5 Richter tremor, 2008, was the largest for a while and probably had more to do with Belmont mast than has been officially admitted.    BGS UK Earthquakes  Or the ones they're are telling us about. . .    Southampton BGS Mirror

A Horncastle Poem I dream of the sound of pelican crossings filling the air all day long, I must have my market browsing interrupted by inane muzak song. I long for strangers and knowing no-one as I walk around the crowded streets, I've got to find at least 12 varieties of the latest chocolate doggy treat. And where is the mighty ring-road talked of so long ago? Not that it will ever get used as it's easier to trundle on through. I want my church Big, a minster monster; but I'll never attend, they don't sing My song there. I want to be closer to the Sea, 30 meters is too high for me. Then three times a year when I get the notion, I can drive half as far to slap on the lotion. I demand the right to 2nd hand CD's, tapes and videos, With the choice of ten chippies for seafood along the presidio. In fact there's so much I want from 'down south'. Perhaps I should just move to Louth!
