Out and about in Loughborough

So, I do hope you enjoyed last week's article on what eventually happened to Zeppelin L 20 after its part in the raid on Loughborough on the night of January 31st 1916. Again, HUGE thanks to Ian Castle for such an interesting article, and good luck to him with his latest book and with the next volume of Zeppelin Onslaught, which will include Loughborough.

So, it's back to lynneaboutloughborough for a commentary on this past couple of weeks which, as ever, have been busy and interesting! I suppose the first thing to mention, in the true tradition, is the weather!! We've experienced some very high winds, had lots of rain, and seen much flooding. There's some excellent aerial footage of our area under water, and lots of photographs. Here's my recent (16 Feb 2020) video of the Wood Brook in full flow: 

and some photos I took of various areas, including Forest Road, Derby Road, Cotes, and Meadow Lane.

Other things happening around Loughborough recently have been singing practice in the parish church for International Women's Day: no matter what the occasion, nor where, you can't beat a good sing!!

I've also had a couple of late-night walks, which show Loughborough in a different light!!

Down at the Old Rectory, we've been meeting to plan the season of events for this year. Lots to look forward to, including an exhibition to commemorate the work of Reverend Fearon in respect of getting a fresh water supply to the town, art displays and more!

2020 is looking good so far!!
