Aside from our journey home taking four hours longer than expected, we had an amusing if disconcerting experience once we set off again.

According to our dumb electronic navigator, as we left Peterborough, the closer we got to home the longer it would take us to get there - the estimated journey time somehow kept increasing the further we travelled.

Fortunately, when we got to the Black Cat roundabout, we happened to notice that staying on the A1 would save us 46 minutes. A no brainer. But our stupid satnav said nothing and would gladly have continued sending us up the junction to the A421 and down the M1 on its preferred but needlessly extended drive.

We’re up to our eyeballs in AI, but unsupervised, my toaster is a wannabe arsonist and my satnav can’t tell me the quickest way home.

Had a blowout on the A1 just before Grantham, so took the opportunity to visit Margaret Thatcher’s birthplace while waiting for the tyre to be replaced.

Bertie’s ice cream van shut up shop at six on the dot leaving my little lad, who was next in line, without an ice cream.

I wasn’t sharp enough to capture the blue tits nesting in this wall-mounted ash tray.

My kids (and I) want to know why there’s a potato waffle in the beach information section of this noticeboard.

A beach information sign at Anthony's Bank warns of the absence of lifeguard services and provides safety instructions.

Some spectacular skies yesterday afternoon.

A dramatic cloudy sky looms over a long pier stretching out into the sea on a sandy beach with a railing-lined walkway.A dramatic sky with dark clouds looms over a sandy beach and a pier jutting into the water.Dark storm clouds loom over a sandy beach with a clear patch of blue sky on the horizon.

Deep in the beating cold heart of Reform UK territory, the former Queen’s Head pub in Cleethorpes is now a rebranded and graffitied ethnic eatery. Presumably creating our jobs? Taking our pubs?
