IT Support for Lincolnshire

Tracks in the snow

This morning I have been helping some clients with their IT support in Spilsby Lincolnshire. They needed to update their backup to an image based/automatic cloud backup and we can help with that. No more days of “no off site backup” because someone forgets to take the tape home with them.

However the one benefit this client really liked was that we would be checking that every day they had a good backup that could save their company if the worse happened.

On the way home I stopped off at Snipes Dales Country Park to eat my lunch and get a “photo of the day”.

Home and a visit to StarShipSofa HQ

It was time to drive home today but on the way I took a slight detour and stopped off for coffee and a bacon sandwich with Tony at StarShipSofa HQ.

Highlight of the day was to see (and touch) his Hugo Award!

Snow, rain, wind and hail

That is how the morning started so Alex and I decided that the only cure for such a day was a full English breakfast. So it was off to The View Cafe Morecambe to see what their’s was like.

I had a chance today to take some photos of the memorabilia.

The spam menu

This is not the type of spam I am used to dealing with!

… and here is the breakfast.

This cafe is great, they have the usual range of items on their menu you would expect from a sea side cafe – and spam (although we did not try it). The breakfast we had was well cooked and serve hot to our table and there was extra tea and toast included. I would recommend a visit.


The weather did change and we could eventually see across the bay to the Lake District.
