EU referendum: The Brexiteers are against a lot of things. That’s not enough

Lincoln and Lincolnshire – their future looks bright

When my wife and I arrived in North Hykeham in September 1977 neither of us thought that we would probably be spending most of our lives here. My own personal journey had seen me living in various places up until then, growing up in Leicester, then four years at Cambridge, followed by spells in Nottinghamshire, the Canadian Prairies, what was then West Germany and finally three years in West Yorkshire. I must confess that I had not visited Lincoln many times previously. The first time was on a bike in 1959 and included a stay at the Youth Hostel off South Common and my first visit to a pub. The second was a 6th form trip in the early 1960s, which included a trip up one of the towers of the cathedral, and the occasional visit during my time at Newark to play staff badminton at what was then the Lincoln School on Wragby Road.
