Horncastle is a historic market town in the rural county of Lincolnshire, England. I am a city girl at heart, but I also enjoy the small rustic details that can be found in countryside spots like this. Here are some of my favourite scenes captured on a recent walk around the town…

    What a cute little village. I love signs while traveling. These are some great ones. I can just imagine someone going in and buying a few firewood logs and just picking up a ferret as an impulse buy.
