Greetings my name is Jane and Im now the wrong side of 40!
I love the internet and I'm amazed how rapidly I've become hooked on CIAO.
I am blissfully happily married to a playstation addict which means I have plenty of time to spend hours on the net...

As Iv'e just written several ops on dream destinations (I go on my hols this weekend so Im in the mood!) I felt it time to come back down to earth with my old home town of Lincoln.
Lincoln the town that motorways forgot! There are no motorways in the entire county of Lincolnshire and its the sort of place you don't pass through to get anywhere. This is probably why it lacks sophistication but has retained its charm if a little outdated.
It is a history fans dream with a very grand cathedral, castle and small museum. The "Up Hill" area by the cathedral is quaint with cobbled streets and tea shops. The best restaurants and bars can also be found "Up Hill".
The absolute double of Leonardo De Caprio used to work behind the bar of the "Tap And Spile" pub don't know if he still does but he used to attract ladies of a certain age from miles aroud!
The annual christmas market which attracts 100 thousand odd visitors is also held around this area.The stalls are mainly of the greasy chip and hot dog variety and what you'd find in Blackpool Im afraid but the atmosphere is congenial.
The shopping in the main town centre is definitely on the up with a decent sized Debenhams and Binns along with the usual High St names.
There are a few hotels including The White Hart ,a Holiday Inn and a Forte Posthouse.They all do special weekend deals.
Overall Lincoln is still a lovely, relatively unspoilt city with enough to keep you amused for a weekend break.

Hello Jane,
You write as if you are no longer there?.
I live in Skegness but work in Lincoln a couple of days a week.
Nothings changed, I think they have just had a dual carageway approved from Newark to Lincoln but who knows how long that will take.
Keep writing
Best wishes
