OK so you're asking what on earth is <a href="http://www.theguardian.com/culture/gallery/2015/aug/29/steampunk-festival-in-lincoln-in-pictures" target="_blank">Steam Punk</a> and until this weekend we had no idea either so don't feel left out - just think how the Victorians would have imagined Sci-Fi (Jules Verne and H G Wells). As it happens Lincoln is the home to one of the largest Steam Punk festivals in the country. We had ring-side seats when we went to the castle for our volunteer duties on Sunday morning. Or at least we would have had ring-side seats had we not been helping to prepare for the costume re-enactments in the Victorian prison.

As you can see from the limited photos we took it is incredible and very inventive. The crowds were unbelievable. For more images <a href="http://thelincolnite.co.uk/2015/08/europes-largest-steampunk-festival-returns-to-lincoln-in-style/" target="_blank">click here...</a>
