Mablethorpe is always out!?

Good cartch on the church orientation - the picture had to be taken from the south looking north.

I'll try to paste better pictures of the sign and licence plate.

Gosh Su! I hope I'm not driving anyone potty! Er... whatever that means! :)

I don't see any other clues... but then I thought the church was the only clue. I don't think it's a sign on the church... it seems to be part of the building.

The hair does seem a tad too long for the 50's.

I've gone all giddy now  :o  North South East West ... speaking as one who doesn't know her left from her right, which way is up  ???

The numbers have changed now to 1189 ... or is that 3386?

Donna can you tell us anything more about the photo ?

Does it look like something something CK something on the signpost to anyone else ?

If you sit back and squint, you get a better picture.
