As we bid a fond farewell to yet another action-packed week in our vibrant county of Lincolnshire, it’s time to look back on the touching stories that highlight our community spirit, shared enjoyment, and the legacy left by dearly departed members of our community. Our highly acclaimed Butlin’s Skegness continues to add new offerings to its entertainment line-up, promising something for everyone. Meanwhile, the Roll the Dice Café in Cleethorpes enthusiastically welcomes patrons of all ages to savour a cup of tea and engage in friendly competition over a board game or two.
We’ve also witnessed impressive transformations courtesy of Alan Titchmarsh and his Love Your Garden team, who renovated the garden of Rob and Margaret Isdale. This remarkable couple has opened their home to over 150 foster children throughout their lives. Additionally, history buffs must surely recall the recent unveiling of the intriguing Roman Dodecahedron, a striking symbol of our county’s rich historical heritage.
As a community, we’ve united in honouring the memory of treasured figures who have passed. Notable among them is a former Humberston Academy headteacher, renowned for the charisma and warmth that significantly impacted countless lives. Yet we’ve also celebrated displays of selfless kindness, such as Sophia Allen’s heartwarming gesture of donating her hair to a charity for children, and the growing public petition designed to protect our invaluable libraries.
Our recounting of the week’s events would not be complete without acknowledging the fearless individuals who demonstrated that no challenge is too great to overcome: a visually impaired woman from Nottinghamshire took to the Lincolnshire skies in a fundraising endeavour for the Guide Dogs charity, and a fearless pair bungee-jumped from Whitby Viaduct in a bid to raise funds for local hospitals.
As we usher in a fresh week, we will continue to foster the spirit of bravery, kindness, and solidarity that makes Lincolnshire a truly extraordinary place to call home.
