Taste of Lincolnshire

We went to the Taste of Lincolnshire last weekend. It was a much smaller version of Taste of Chicago, but was good as it had a lot of local restaurants participating, so it gave us ideas of where to eat out. In fact we are going to try a new Mexican we discovered there on Friday with some friends. We decided to cycle there as it was not as hot as the forecast had predicted, but we got caught out. We were racing the black clouds home when the heavens opened. We took shelter at an abandoned building that had a bandstand type place behind it. We stayed there whilst the thunder and lightning were going on, but realised that we could not stand there all day, so continued on our way while it was still raining. Of course not only did we get wet, but we also got splattered with lots of mud. And, wouldn't you know it, it stopped raining as soon as we pulled up outside the apartment!

We went back there in the evening, driving this time, as they had a concert by a Beatles tribute band, who were very good. There had been no more rain and so by then the ground was completely dried up and the sun was shining again, like it never happened. They seem to do a lot of outdoor events round here, and most of them are free, there are loads of local concerts where you just turn up with your blanket and picnic.
