It’s good to hear of Steampunk from the uncluttered-with-outfit-and-story-ideas mind of a local person… I love this view of Lincoln Asylum!
Travelled to Lincoln last weekend to see a football match, and went early in order to sneak an hour at Bunty’s Tea Rooms on Steep Hill (purveyors of fine Earl Grey tea and dandelion and burdock cake – yes, that’s cake tasting of DANDELION AND BURDOCK POP!).
Parking in Lincoln is like sewing with a feather, so we crept around for twenty minutes looking for a space AND IT WAS LIKE ENTERING ANOTHER WORLD.
The loooong school holiday means I haven’t been aware anything much above playdates and Clarks shoe-shops, so had no idea that the Asylum Steampunk Festival was taking place almost on my doorstep (not on my doorstep – I live in a forgotten land, nothing is actually on my doorstep).

Hi Kira, many thanks for your kind words and the re-post. This was my first-ever post and I received such a good reaction I am thrilled! The Steampunk festival was really inspiring – I couldn’t wait to get home and start writing names and storylines for all the personalities I saw.
By the way – your second name (Morgana) is the same second name as the lead character in my book (she is called Pia Morgana). I like to think this is a good omen for my blogging future… Jo
You’re welcome!
Glad to have made your day. It’s always fun to make a new connection and since I started sinking into the Steampunk World, I’ve met so many brilliantly splendid people.
Look up the British Steampunk Community on facebook if you’d like to connect with the people you saw at the Asylum!
