Our last day in Lincoln and its a walk back up the main street to pick up a few essentials . Even on a week day the town is buzzing with people and a city well worth a visit if you haven't been here before.
This is The Brayford water clock which we can see from our mooring in the marina and is a sculpture sited in the centre of Lincoln, next to the Brayford Pool.
A 26’ high rotating water clock, that chimes on the hour.
The whole of the top section rotates once an hour, like the minute hand of the clock.
Water flows constantly down the copper bowls and as the hour is reached the bowls are released which in turn tips the arms and chimes the bells.
At night a light beam shines down to the base showing the time.
Walking along the front and Carolyn suggested popping in to Marco Pierre Whites restaurant for a bite to eat. But I said there is a far better one about 100 yards away.
OOPS ! I'm in trouble and it seems I'm a tight old Git as well . Carolyn wasn't happy about my choice of where to eat ,but I still say you cant beat Weatherspoon's for value .Where else can you get an Aberdeen angus Steak and a pint for 8 quid. Just the ticket .
Our last night and this is the view of Lincoln Cathedral from our front room window . We have enjoyed our time here so much that its a place we will have to come back to one day.
Happy Days
