It is very beautiful, unlike Northampton where they have demolished all the buildings of architectural interest. Here the new and old nestle together, side by side, one blending with the other almost seamlessly.

We weren't shopping for anything in particular although Jane did want a number of arty things from <a title="Ruddocks of Lincoln" href="http://www.ruddocksoflincoln.co.uk/store/" target="_blank">Ruddocks</a> (a lovely, old-fashioned arts and crafts shop). We stopped for coffee at the <a title="The Collection" href="http://www.thecollectionmuseum.com/?/visiting-us/stokes-at-the-collection" target="_blank">Collection</a> and went round the roman artifacts exhibition. After meandering through the city we stopped for lunch at Café 44 which is bohemian and student friendly so it is very good value (let's say cheap).
