Where abouts in Lincoln was it taken..?

Christ! I'm only in Retford and mum is in Lincoln on Boultham Pk Road...

Cheeky... :eek: I was adding the saddle, helmet etc... :) and a Dona Kebab or two..

Blimey! Where are you..?

I fully understand what you're saying re Romans etc.. And thanks for the compliment! I'll tell the missus her 15 stone hunk of love actually looks good astride the horse.. You made my day lol
