Work and Play, Eating and Drinking .... and a spot of poaching. A light-hearted afternoon talk!
About this Event

This talk by Adrian Gray features some moving and hilarious stories about life in Lincolnshire as it used to be, uncovering such forgotten arts as how to make rook pie and how to go poaching. We will discover the many uses for a pig, Boston’s strange obsession with exploding fungi, and which towns had the most censorious attitude to ‘X’ films! All this and much more including a visit to the outdoor privy…........
