Friday 19th June – Tuesday 23rd June 2009
The turn off the A607 onto West Street is not easy to spot if you are travelling from the north. By that I’m sure you have guessed I missed it, but I managed to do a U turn a few hundred yards further on. West Street gets narrower the further you travel and becomes a track before you arrive at the C/L which is on the left before the house. This all grass paddock was in need of a cut when we arrived and the owner did this during my stay. There are good views in most directions and there are footpaths that cut through the farm.
If you want to use the bus you will have to walk to the main road. All services including supermarkets are in Grantham, and the National Trust Belton House is just down the road. We stopped at a farm shop nearby that did PYO strawberries, they were great, but you do tend to pick more than you need. Never mind, they didn’t get wasted.
Family went home on Sunday so I am on my own again. I don’t dash about as much when I’m alone and tend to take things a lot slower. Made friends with a old Border Collie dog from the farm that would turn up and lie in shade of caravan all day or until I went out. It stood at the top of the drive when I left, very moving.
