BRIGG IS SO BRACING IN THE SNOW - WITH APOLOGIES TO SKEGNESS

Skegness is so bracing! That's one of the great British seaside slogans.
But snowy Brigg could match the famous east coast of Lincolnshire resort if you were out walking today - Sunday, March 18, 2018.
We took  a walk along the public footpath from Churchill Avenue over the fields to Wrawby - in the teeth of a bitterly cold wind.
It was not so tough trudging back to town alongside the A18 and we were struck by the snow-shrouded view up the long drive to St Helen's - the large detached property on the border between Brigg and Wrawby.
It would not have been out of place in a Charles Dickens novel. 
A couple of hardy types were rolling large snowballs on the public open space off York Road.

Not much of the stream visible through the snowdrift. That's Churchill Avenue, Brigg, in the distance
