Professional work space

Anyone have any good recommendations where I can find a quiet space to do some revision for my exams ?

Public library is annoyingly closed Sunday so would love to hear some spot recommendations. Also a bonus if they're open late during the week :)

Visit to Grantham and Lenton

Hello! My mother-in-law, two kids (10 and 5) and I are planning an England trip for March of next year. My MIL would like to visit the cemetery in Lenton where some of her ancestors are buried. We will be spending a few days in London and then I was thinking the best way to go about it would be to take a train from King’s Cross to Grantham and then get to Lenton from there. We would really like to avoid renting a car if at all possible. Would there be other transportation options for us from Grantham to Lenton? We would not need to spend the night in Lenton-probably just a couple of hours to a half day would suffice and then head back to Grantham for a couple of days. We’re from the U.S. and are not familiar with the area at all. Any input or insight would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance!

Best Roast Dinner in the Grantham area?

There doesn’t seem to be a decent pub in the town for a roast dinner, but please prove me wrong! Open to suggestions for surrounding villages also. Thanks!

Grantham visit

I'm going on a family holiday to Grantham, Belton Woods, for New Year and was looking for recommendations. We have two boys aged 9 and 8 and would be down for a week. We're coming from rural Scotland and don't know the area at all. Any good activities you would recommend for kids.

Also how viable is a day trip to London from there?

Pride of Lincoln

And no - I don’t mean Damons.

Been a while since I’ve driven past. When did we lose pride? Did something (other than Damons) make us prouder?

Legends of Lincolnshire.

TRIGGER WARNING: spooky story. So my dad always used to tell me and my sisters the story of a man called Steve 'the Psycho' Swanface. It was a story about a man who resided in a mental hospital in bracebridge heath because he was literally a pshycopath. One night, just randomly, he got fed up of the man he shared his room with and decided to kill him. He waited until the man was asleep and then proceeded to cut his face off (while he was still alive) and eventually when his face was completely off, sewed this man's face on top of his own, and took off. Allegedly, according to the story, he was never found. A weird story to tell kids, I know, but me and my dad have recently bonded over how much we love stories of the paranormal and myths and legends etc. I wanted to know whether this story has been heard of by anyone else who lives in or closely around Lincoln specifically and if they know whether the man in this story was a real person ( I obviously doubt that the story truly happened I just wanted to know if it is based on a real person.)

Also would love to hear any similar little know legends that took place in Lincolnshire that are family legends (true or not).

Visiting Lincoln:Parking

I’m taking the kids to Lincoln for the day next week and picking someone up from Humberside Airport at 9pm on the way home. My plan is to kill the awkward 6-8pm window at the cinema. Where would you advise parking? Park and ride says parking at Waitrose is free until 7pm but nothing about after. Or is parking in city a better option?

Who do I write to/vote for to make sure a particular department of the NHS doesn't disappear?

Not sure how to phrase this question but I'll just write and see what comes out...

My wife occasionally requires the assistance of a department in the NHS/Lincolnshire called the "rapid response team". A group of lovely people, who provide care to ensure that in her instance at least, she doesn't end up in hospital.

Now I do apologise if I've got their name wrong but it's something like that. I haven't really delt with them directly, my wife usually sees them when I'm at work.

Firstly, I just want to point out how brilliant they are and their service is invaluable!

Secondly, my question, as mentioned in the title. Who do I write to, which MP or whoever do I need to make aware of how important this team is. I suddenly had the worrying thought early, that as easily as they've appeared in our lives, they could easily disappear to, with a click of a pen. I want to write a letter of support to whoever needs to hear it, to ensure this team stays around.

I'm definitely going to bring it up with them, the next time I see them. But in the meantime, I wondered if any of you lovely people had any ideas?

I hope my question makes sense. It's late, I've had a long day but I wanted to get this question out there!

Also to raise awareness of such a team 😀

Places to live in Lincoln?

Hi Everyone! I'm moving to Lincoln soon but I am in the process of looking for places to stay/rent. Are there any areas you can suggest over others. I'm quite a home body and have work in central Lincoln - but don't mind commuting. Additionally, I have no kids so don't need anything necessarily close to schools. I've found a decent place in Skellingthorpe, but don't know anything about the area. Are there good shops around ect? Any advice would be appreciated!

Edit: Thank you so much for all the insight! I'm extending my search area a bit broader - what's Market Rasen and Gainsborough like? Any thoughts there?

Any good part-time jobs in Lincoln?

I’ve lived here for about 2 years now and for that entire time I’ve been searching for a job and so far had no luck. I’m in college and had no prior experience so that’s probably the reason why no where is accepting me. I search nearly everyday on Indeed, TotalJobs and loads of job sites but I can’t find anything. I started going into places to hand my CV in but they all told me to look online instead since apparently it’s not normal to walk in places now?? I’m actually so stumped I can’t find anywhere.

Poshest place in Lincolnshire?

The Beast of Bourne

Hello! I'm a writer from Rutland, now living in London and I'm working on something with a cryptid hunter. I did some Rutland Panther research and saw a reference to the Beast of Bourne, something I remember hearing the name but no details at all!

I've searched everywhere and can't find a thing online, does anyone here remember anything?

Quickline internet router.

Hi all, I was wondering if anyone in Lincolnshire could tell me the model of router quickline use, and if there are any issues with coverage? I have it being installed in 4 weeks time from a terribly slow internet connection and I've read that the routers aren't great for coverage, in a couple of threads.

I'd like to prepare to resolve that ASAP, once my install happens.

Any insight at all?
Cheers!

Recruitment Agencies

Looking to relocate to the area (Sleaford ideally but open to further afield) next year to be closer to family.

Could any of you fine people recommend a few recruitment agency’s you may have had good experiences with? I’m currently a Warehouse Manager looking for something similar in Warehouse & Logistics so an agency that specialises or deals in Warehousing would be ideal.

Thanks.
