Saturday morning at the lake

I was on auntie duties this morning; my nephew needed a guardian while he’s at his fishing club. So there I was.

It’s rather lovely, I haden’t been to this particular park in Immingham for at least twenty-five years. It had changed a lot.

The park is a lot better, there’s a skate park now and the lake is so much bigger than I remembered.

Worst place to shop?

This is old news now but I wrote this last week and haven’t had a chance to get it online before now.

New and old don't necessarily sit well together

I read an article on The Independent’s website over the weekend, about terrible places in the UK to shop. Dudley, apparently, is the worst and London is the best place to go for retail therapy.

None of that is surprising, London is a shopping addicts paradise, but I think they must have limited the survey that the list is based on to towns over a certain population size, because Immingham should definitely be on that list.

I-fest; or Immingham attempts to rock

And it doesn’t do to badly either.

So far The League of Mental Men have entertained us with covers from a variety of bands, including Papa Roach, Guns n Roses, My Chemical Romance, The Foo Fighters and The Darkness. They’re apparently really popular in the local pubs and I can see why; the singer is fairly good. He manages to hit the notes 95% of the time (he’s not no Dave Grohl but he’ll do for Immingham) and the musicians are competent.

They were enjoyed by the whole crowd, even my sister who’s leery about this sort of music.

Back soon with a review of the next band. Provided my phone plays nice and I don’t lose the network again.
