Hello there, and welcome back to this week’s #PoCoLo - a friendly linky which I co-host with Suzanne, where you can link any blog post published in the last week. Please don’t link up posts which are older as they will be removed from the linky. We know you’ll find some great posts to read, and maybe some new-to-you blogs too, so do pop over and visit some of the posts linked, comment and share some of that love. If you were here last week it was great to have you along, if you’re new here this week we’re pleased you’ve joined us.

This week has been a week of excursions starting last Friday evening when we popped into Newark to view a light and sound installation at the church just off the market square. It was good to see the event, put together by local students and art group Newark Creates, well supported - and another example of how churches can be used by local communities.

Then this week we went into Nottingham on the bus, which was eventful. It was only a small mini-bus and we were the last ones the driver let on - clearly a popular service, which needs a bigger vehicle. On the way back we got on the hourly bus and got a seat, but once again it was pretty full.

In Nottingham itself there was plenty to see, and plenty more to explore on future visits, though if truth be told I think I’ll be going in the car next time!

Yesterday evening we went to a wine tasting in Newark, once again travelling by bus - I’m writing this post before we go, so fingers crossed it all goes well!
