J And S Plumbing And Heating
J&S Plumbing & Heating is much more than you might expect. Based in Lincoln, Lincolnshire J&S Plumbing & Heating covers the whole city and surrounding area. The three main areas of expertise are plumbing, heating and air conditioning but J&S Plumbing & Heating still do much more than you might think.
Call 01522 708 208 today to talk to the team and book your appointment
Originally from Aylesbury, Buckinghamshire, Jason moved to Lincoln with his wife Sarah-Jane. J&S Plumbing & Heating was created in 2010 as a joint business. As their good reputation grew it became obvious that the business needed to expand to keep up with demand. In 2019 Jason started to take on employees and expand the business from plumbing and heating to include oil fired and LPG fired boilers.
Setting up the business here was something Jason felt really passionate about. Going the ‘extra mile’ is something that Jason and his team do on a daily basis so you can always be assured of a top class service. It’s part of the company policy to always leave the area clean and tidy after installation and servicing. All waste is removed too so you’ll never have to worry about disposing of old boilers, pipework, packaging, plaster or brickwork.
Fully Qualified Engineers
As you would expect, all of the staff are fully qualified engineers and are ready to install new boilers as well as repair and service your existing system should you need it. The engineers are qualified to fit and service natural gas, LPG and oil systems both in your own home or commercially in business premises.
The gas safe registered team are all qualified and competent members of a friendly unit. For additional peace of mind they are all DBS (disclosure and barring service) certificate holders.

As the author of this blog I can personally recommend J&S Plumbing & Heating as we have had our old boilers removed and replaced by Jason.
Testimonials
“We initially had two boilers that were installed 25 years ago. One of the boilers broke down and parts were no longer available. Jason replaced the two old boilers with a single new boiler. Two days from start to finish! The area was left clean and tidy at the end of the first day and again when the job was finished on day two. All of the rubbish was taken away and the pipework is much tidier than that of the original job. The company (who will remain nameless) who fitted our original boilers were nothing short of a nightmare! It was really nice to experience the quiet efficiency of J&S Plumbing and Heating when fitting our replacement boiler”
Martin, Bardney
Don’t just take my word for it though. Here’s what Ben from Navenby had to say (taken from the website):
Word of mouth is always the best form of advertising and a happy customer is almost always ready to help spread the word
Care Plans
Fitting and servicing boilers is fine but when you want that extra peace of mind you should consider a care plan.
Why invest in a care plan? Well, making regular monthly payments will spread the cost of your service and greatly reduce the risk of surprise bills. A regular boiler service and radiator check will help to keep your system efficient and ultimately cheaper to run. In addition there are the safety aspects. A lean running and ventilated boiler will prevent the risk of dangerous carbon monoxide poisoning.
There are several packages to choose from depending on your budget, requirements and installed system. As a result, Jason offers a basic, bronze, silver, gold and ‘new boiler’ care plans which all include an annual service and boiler controls as standard.
Prices vary according to the plan you choose so click on this care plan link for an up-to-the-minute quote from J&S Plumbing & Heating.
J&S Plumbing & Heating – There’s More…
Fitting and servicing gas boilers and associated pipework, radiators, controls and tanks is just one part of the business. Jason has put a great deal of thought and planning into making your experience easy. When you visit the website www.jasplumbingandheating.co.uk click on the ‘Our Services’ tab to discover what’s on offer. You’ll find some easy to navigate drop downs to help you get to the right area quickly and easily.
From the drop downs you could click on ‘Servicing & Repairs’ where you’ll be able to book appointments for your annual servicing, checks or repairs.
Heat Pumps
When looking for a greener way of heating your home you might consider installing a heat pump. While air conditioning in the home is an excellent way to heat or cool your house, you will still need a separate water tank for hot water. The heat pump however, is an all-in-one system as it provides both heat and hot water. Fitting this system is quite a big job so best carried out when either renovating or building a new home.
As you would expect, Jason and his team will happily give you advice and a competitive quote if you choose to go down this route.
Equip your new build or renovation with a cost effective heat pump by J&S Plumbing & Heating
Air Conditioning
Did you know?
We all know that air conditioning is used for cooling us on hot days and nights but did you know that they are also an efficient source of heating? Simply by altering the temperature setting on the control box you can guarantee a constant temperature whenever you need it. There’s more though! Your air conditioning unit is a very efficient dehumidifier and as a result it takes out moisture from the air and prevents mould.
All in all, it’s very efficient at what it does. The unit fits discreetly on the wall and, well, it does exactly what it says on the box!
Internal air conditioning unit with variable temperature
There will be a unit on your outside wall too but did you know that the outside unit can actually service up to five indoor units? The number of wall units required will obviously depends on the size of your house so be sure to contact Jason on 01522 708 208 for an accurate quote with no obligations.
External air conditioning unit servicing up to five internal units
Jason will talk you through all of the benefits of air conditioning during his visit including little details like ‘it’s 400% efficient’ (each unit gives out 400 times the power than it consumes) and ‘it is better for the planet as it doesn’t give off CO2’. For homes with solar panels it’s even possible to run the units at zero cost!
There’s More, ‘Much’ More
With the focus here being on the ‘big jobs’ you could be forgiven for thinking that J&S Plumbing & Heating only do boilers, heating, air conditioning etc. However, nothing could be further from the truth. Take a look at the list below to see what else is on offer. The list is quite extensive but not exhaustive so if you have a plumbing job that needs sorting but it’s not on the list, get in touch.
OAP And Emergency Worker Discounts
In recognition of the amount of money and time many people have put in to ‘the system’ you’ll be pleased to hear that J&S Plumbing & Heating offer 10% discount on labour for our pensioners. In addition, in an effort to reward those emergency workers who ‘run towards danger’ in order to keep us safe J&S Plumbing & Heating are also proud to offer those people 10% discount on labour too.

WassOnCoffee Ramblings – A Railway Ramble Part 2
Welcome to WassOnCoffee Ramblings Part 2. Following on from Part 1 we’ll continue with the Spires and Steeples route from Lincoln to Metheringham.
A Chilly Start
On a cold frosty Friday January morning myself and Ian met as the only passengers joining at Metheringham Station on the East Midlands Railway train to Sleaford. The warmth of the train was a nice welcome from the cold station. As we approached Ruskington the sun was just breaking on the horizon and the day was looking good.
Before we knew it we had arrived at Sleaford and we had disembarked the train and the realisation dawned! We now had a thirteen mile walk back to Metheringham to complete our Spires and Steeples journey. Follow this link Spires And Steeples for details.
The First Coffee
Getting my fix of coffee, a call at Costa Sleaford was needed to top up the caffeine levels and give a boost for the day ahead. We soon arrived at The Hub which is an Arts and Crafts venue on the Sleaford Canal and worth a visit if you’re in the area.
Daylight was now breaking as we followed the towpath saying hello to the passing dog walkers and people heading for a swim at the leisure centre. We had a real treat as a flash of bright blue skimmed pass. It was a Kingfisher and a real bonus.
Dawn broke with a great sunrise as we passed under the busy A17 with vehicles rumbling on their busy journeys. We, however, had the peace of the riverbank.
Ruskington Coffee Time
Our canal journey soon ended as we picked up tracks and minor roads to take us in the large village to Ruskington. It was now busy as it had gone nine o’ clock. We already had over four miles in the bank now and were ready for a refresh and something to eat. A nice welcoming cafe called Cuppa Bliss in the village centre was our choice and we enjoyed a cup of coffee, carbs and a good chat to put the world to rights. A check on the watch meant it was time for our next part of our of journey, which will be continued. in Part 3.
WassOnCoffee Ramblings – A Railway Ramble Part 1
Wassoncoffee Ramblings – A Railway Ramble.
Rambling or drinking coffee was the choice recently on Monday? Why not do both was the decision.
Myself and friend Ian left Metheringham station at 07:30 on the train to Lincoln. We met up with a fellow rambler convert James to head out via the Witham to Washingborough route on a dry morning. It certainly was an early start for James, who had been there since 06:00 as he couldn’t sleep! I don’t know if it was excitement or nerves lol.
A spirited pace took us via the river Witham and Stamp End lock via the old Titanic Building, so called as when built it was to the same dimensions as the ill fated liner. As we followed the old railway line out of Lincoln, in the footsteps of the original main line from Scotland to London until the 1890s we passed quite a few commuters heading in to Lincoln on their cycles. None looked happy to be heading to work!
On reaching the old station at Washingborough we left the level route and climbed up through the village past the hotel. The climb was our first test of the day, and it finished very near the railway tunnel near Heighington. It is a very small tunnel, and most people will not know it is there!
We then followed the Spire and Steeples route to Branston, via Branston beck which is one of the few Chalk Streams in the area. On reaching Branston we enjoyed a good coffee and bacon butty at the old Library cafe and can certainly recommend a visit.
Our route then followed the villages via Potterhanworth where we encountered our first Sqad (Lincolnshire for mud). The farm estate village of Nocton then followed, formally Smith Crisps and now Dysons (yes, the vacuum cleaner man). Most of the Strawberries you consume this time of year are grown here in massive glasshouses.
The lane to Dunston followed via paths I had not walked before so a nice bonus. We could finally see Meg (Metheringham) which was our journeys end. We felt proud of our achievement. Twelve miles walked in under four hours was a good ramble and we arrived back in Meg before the rain.

Lincoln Christmas Market
If anything is going to epitomise the Lincoln Christmas Market it has to be Lincoln Cathedral and Lincoln Castle. Castle Square was the original home of the market and over the years the market expanded to the Lincoln Cathedral, The Lawn and surrounding areas.
The Lincoln Christmas Market saw a huge expansion over the years that it operated. In my opinion, the expansion wasn’t particularly well managed with many stalls duplicated and triplicated. The expansion saw a significant rise in visitor numbers. This resulted in the Lincoln council ‘pulling the plug’ on health and safety grounds. In my opinion this was a big mistake as it dealt a huge blow to the local economy and the kudos of Lincoln City internationally.
The market was a huge asset to the city and the wider county. Local employment, small business income and tourism have all been affected by its closure. Its Christmas atmosphere, local financial income and kudos are missed in equal measures. However, with your comments added to this blog and lots of shares around your friends we may be able to encourage a rethink. It would be fantastic to see the market return to Lincoln.
Vienna
As a result of the closure of the market we (my wife and I) decided to seek an alternative to get us into the Christmas mood. That meant taking our custom elsewhere. ‘Another trail’ around the city looking at ice sculptures, knights, imps or monsters didn’t appeal. The first trail was fun but having the same idea rolled out several times a year didn’t inspire us. As a result, our research took us to Vienna.
Vienna has much to offer. Its history, fantastic architecture and many Christmas markets caught our attention. Following some research we planned a short break (4 nights) centred around visiting as many Christmas markets as possible. We managed 7 of the 9 Christmas markets and enjoyed them all.
Lincoln Christmas Market Inspired By Vienna
The Viennese Christmas markets took us to several different areas of the city. All but one was in walking distance (30-40 minutes) from our hotel. It struck me that Lincoln could certainly learn something from the Austrian idea. One of the markets was a local art market where artists and crafters had stalls to sell their gifts. Mixed in with the craft stalls were quality food vendors selling local hot foods and drinks.
The most important point to remember is ‘no duplication’ of stalls. There may have been several stalls selling Christmas tree decorations but they each had their own hand made unique products.
The atmosphere was relaxed and unhurried with enough stalls to keep shoppers interested for several hours. With food stalls and gluvine available visitors were able to spend several hours at the market to enjoy the atmosphere. Local cafes and restaurants also benefited from the increased tourist trade too of course.
Could Lincoln have a series of markets inspired by Vienna?
Market Locations
Just to be clear, the markets in Vienna were all on every day from lunch time until 9.00pm. That’s all 9 markets trading every day from mid November until Christmas! Each market has its own location with a theme. There was some duplication of stalls over the 9 markets but generally each one was unique.
Perhaps some good locations for Lincoln markets would be around the outside of Lincoln Cathedral to encourage shopping around The Bailgate as well as the market stalls. Another at The Lawn to encourage shopping on Burton Road. The Strait, Brayford, the arboretum and South Park would be a fantastic locations to encourage more local shopping. In addition there is Hartsholme Country Park, Whisby Nature Reserve, Doddington Hall, Newark Air Museum and Boultham Park. Perhaps a ‘music themed’ market at The Cornhill? The possibilities are many and varied.
Just A Thought
I wonder how feasible it would be to take inspiration from the Austrian idea? Personally I think it would be a great tourist attraction which would have the advantage of spreading tourists out around the city. Obviously local traders would benefit in their shops just as much as the market stall holders. The knock on effect for restaurants, cafes and hoteliers would be a welcome bonus too. Perhaps ‘flat rate’ taxi fares from market to market would also help another industry.
I would love to know your thoughts. If you have any ideas perhaps you could leave a comment below.

Social Media Trends
Social Media Trends – Does the ever changing face of our society leads us to reassess our social media habits?
It’s been a while since I put pen to paper (or rather, fingers to keyboard) so I thought I ought to post another blog. Despite what many might think, I’m really not a social media guru. In fact, my background is in health and fitness.
Like many others I’ve found social media to be an incredibly useful tool for connecting, advertising and marketing. As a result I’ve become reliant on the platforms to aid my business.
Social Media Trends – Our Favourite Platforms
Until recently my preferred platform was Twitter. However, since it has been under the control of its new owner there has been a marked change in the platform. Gone is the ‘fun’. It seems to have been replaced by toxicity and selfishness. It wasn’t too long ago that people (small and large businesses, charities and organisations as well as the general public) used to share experiences and support each other. That has changed now! Many larger companies employ other companies to look after their social media. As a result, the ‘personality’ has been removed from those companies and friendships have been cast aside in favour of ‘posting content’ to get views.
Smaller businesses and charities have followed suite and much of the camaraderie has been lost. Where ‘share and share alike’ used to be the norm, it’s now ‘post, post, post and me, me, me’. It’s sad to see. The question in my mind is ‘why’? Why have so many forgotten the benefits of working closer together and looking after each other that we learned during Covid?
Social Media Trends – Which Platform?
X (Formerly Twitter)
My experience has largely been shaped by Twitter. Facebook works for many people but I personally find the platform very confusing. I have a personal page (mandatory) and three business pages. Linked to those pages is Messenger, Instagram and Threads. When I get a notification telling me that there is a post for me I spend far too long trying to find it! Some of you may have noticed that companies are now using the tag ‘@followers’ on Facebook posts which sends a notification to all followers that there is a message for them. In reality, it’s just a way of pushing an advert to you. Again, the personal touch has been removed.
X – AI capturing
For those of you who didn’t know, X is now using AI to capture and analyse your posts. The information gained is being used to sell on to third party organisations for advertising and goodness knows what else! Huge thanks to Steve (one of my X followers and friends) who highlighted this for me. If you are an X user, here is how you can help to protect yourself against this intrusion:
- Go to your ‘Settings & Privacy’
- Select ‘Privacy & Safety
- Scroll down to and select ‘Grok’
- Turn off the switch and delete previous conversations
- Go to ‘Data Sharing With Business Partners and turn the switch ‘Off’
Threads by Meta
Threads
In my quest to find a replacement for the toxicity of X I’ve been looking at Threads. Yes, it is a social media platform that is based on ‘chat’ much the same as X. However, it lacks the facilities which are provided on X. There is no facility (at the time of typing this blog) to have group chats based around hashtags. That means there can be no special ‘Hour’ for hobby or group chats. That rules out its usefulness for the #LincsConnect Hour that I run on Monday evenings.
Unfortunately there are no facilities for creating lists either. As a result, it’s not possible to organise followers into trade or location lists. That’s the backbone of #LincsConnect so Threads is a non starter for me.
The Threads App is linked to Instagram. On a positive note, anything posted on Threads can be shared on Instagram. That’s handy but…
Threads, Instagram and Facebook are all owned by Meta. I feel very uncomfortable with the idea of one company controlling all of my social media and having access to all of my information. As we know, ‘information’ is money. I have absolutely no doubt that Meta will be harvesting my information to sell on the open market!
Bluesky
Bluesky
For those of us who have been using social media for some time, we’ll recognise the platform instantly. The reason for its familiarity is because it is run by Jack, the former owner of Twitter.
I signed up to Bluesky as soon as I heard about it. Unfortunately, in its infancy, it didn’t provide the facilities that I need. However, following some undesirable changes to the X platform I decided to give it another try. I was really pleasantly surprised. The platform is now instantly recognisable as the Twitter of old. All of the facilities that I need for #LincsConnect are in place so I’m now in the process of moving all of my accounts across from X.
Bluesky Security And Privacy
Unlike X, Bluesky prefers to keep its users secure and free from misleading accounts. This used to be the best feature in the old style Twitter. All X users will know that the current ‘freedom of speech’ has been taken to the extreme so pretty much ‘anything’ is allowed on the platform.
It’s refreshing to see that Bluesky has a more robust reporting system.
Bluesky Feeds
I think I may have become a Bluesky fan!
On the left side of your bio page you’ll see some tabs to help you navigate the site. Click/tap on the ‘# Feeds‘ tab then select the subjects that interest you the most. These feeds will be shown at the top of your page so that you can quickly skip around your chosen subjects at will. It’s a brilliant idea and is certainly worth exploring. Here is an example of the feeds that I’ve selected at the moment. I’ll be adding more as I use the platform more regularly. You’ll notice that there is a search bar towards the bottom of the picture so that you can search for additional subjects that interest you.
My favourite # Feed so far is ‘Only Posts’
Conclusion
Based entirely on my own experiences and requirements my preferred platform is now Bluesky. From what I’ve experienced so far it is very much a ‘personal’ platform. So far I haven’t experienced any professional social media companies trying to turn it into a corporate platform of ‘me, me, me’ posts. I really hope that it stays that way.

WhatsOnLincs – Hubbards Hills
WhatsOnLincs – Hubbards Hills in Louth, Lincolnshire is a true gem in the Lincolnshire Wolds and is a ‘must visit’ if you’re in the area.
It’s certainly not the best picture I’ve ever taken but it does show an image of the park. This is part of the poster that is situated at the entrance of Hubbards Hills at Halfpenny Lane. There are two entrances (one at Halfpenny Lane) with the second entrance via Crowtree Lane (accessible from Edward Street). This map gives a location for finding the hills but more importantly (for the purpose of this blog) it gives a key to the facilities provided.
Car Parking
There is a pay and display car park ( postcode LN11 0QW) from the Crowtree Lane entrance which is very convenient for the cafe and toilets. The Halfpenny Lane entrance (postcode LN11 9QU) has free but very limited car parking. Hubbards Hills are very popular all year round so don’t be too disappointed if you can’t get a free car parking space.
Cafe
The cafe is small and basic but is an ideal stop for walkers. There is a freezer too which is well stocked with ice creams so very handy during the warmer weather.
Hubbards Hills By Bus
WhatsOnLincs – Hubbards Hills by bus: There are local bus stops at Crowtree Lane and Love Lane which give you a short but picturesque very short walk to the Hubbards Hills. I haven’t tried the bus route so I can’t comment too much on it. However, I do believe that the bus runs from the Louth bus station.
Hubbards Hills – Getting In
If you manage to park on Halfpenny Lane you’ll be level with the park paths and will be able to walk straight in. This lower level is accessible by wheelchair. If you look immediately right at this entrance you’ll see some steep steps which lead to the top of the hills. The path runs across the top of the park along the edge of the grounds of the Louth Golf Course. If you’re able to tackle the steps you’ll be rewarded with some beautiful tree top views over the park land.
Hubbards Hills Treetop View In Summer
There is no denying that the autumn colours are truly spectacular. This photo was taken as the sun went behind a cloud but is still beautiful nonetheless. If you have any of your own photos to add please do leave them in the comments below. Hopefully I’ll be able to post a snow scene here this year too. I may even get to post a Valentine’s Day picture as I do think this is one of the more romantic walks to take with your loved one.
Early Autumn Hubbards Hills Treetop View

Early Autumn Hubbards Hills Treetop View
The path from the top of the steps is not paved and by its very nature, is riddled with tree roots. As a result you’ll need to exercise caution if you are visually impaired or unsteady on your feet.
From the top of the steps you’ll notice that there is a signpost offering additional walking routes. Remember though that this is the Lincolnshire Wolds so be prepared to have to tackle a few hills and rougher terrain.
Follow The Path
The path along the top the park runs the length of Hubbards Hills. The descent is fairly gentle and the track leads down to the single track, leading to Crowtree Lane. Turn left to make your way back into Hubbards Hills at the cafe and toilets entrance. As you turn left look for a small bridge on the right of the road. Cross this bridge and follow the path which runs parallel to the road.
If you park at the pay and display car park at Crowtree Lane entrance be aware that there is a descent from the car park to the paved path along the bottom of Hubbards Hills. It’s worth noting this small descent if you are planning on taking a wheelchair. It is accessible but you’ll need to take care.
WhatsOnLincs – Hubbards Hills At Water Level
The paved path running along the bottom of Hubbards Hills is most definitely wheelchair friendly. Grassy banks alongside are significantly steeper though. However, with that said, don’t let my words put you off. You’ll be glad you visited even if you can’t manage the steep banks, The River Lud is beautiful and well maintained (as is the rest of Hubbards Hills) by the charity trust who run the area.
During the summer Hubbards Hills is a magnet for families with young children. The river flows gently, is shallow and very clear. As a result it’s ideal for young paddlers while the family set up for a picnic. In order to get the best visual experience you’ll need to visit at least once every season.
Ideal For Paddling InThe Shallows At Hubbards Hills Summer View
In autumn it’s a lot less busy but regular visits will give you the best photo opportunities.
The Shallows At Hubbards Hills Early Autumn View

Can you spot these trees while walking around?
Hubbards Hills – Health And Safety
I’m no expert but looking at the condition of the banks, paths and bridges it appears evident to me that health and safety of visitors is a high priority for the trust as they maintain the grounds. Some of the trees have been taken down since I visited previously but the opening up of the stream area seems to have worked well.
Getting Out
this paved path (with the cafe behind you) will take you back to the Halfpenny Lane entrance and free car park. However, if you have time, do stay to enjoy this beautiful space. It’s great for children to play and explore, ideal for a picnic and a paddle but equally as pleasant to just sit, enjoy nature and contemplate.
Hubbards Hills is open all year so you can enjoy all of the seasons here. If you look at the map above you’ll see Louth town centre. Yes, it ‘is’ that close! When you’ve finished at Hubbards Hills do take some time to explore Louth too. It has a vibrant market every Wednesday, Friday and Saturday.

Lincs Angler
Hello and welcome to Lincs Angler.
My name is Dominic, I’m a multi-species angler from Lincoln, Lincolnshire.
18lb 6oz River Pike in the Dark
My angling adventure started sometime during 2007 when my grandad took me on my first ever fishing trip to a small lake/pond in Northamptonshire where I learnt the basics of wagler fishing.
Since then, my obsession with all things angling has propelled me into many different aspects of fishing with lure fishing becoming my speciality.
Since the passing of a close childhood friend in September 2019 my mental health took a turn for the worst. Fishing saved me.
With a new found love for freshwater predators, I soon found myself on the bank at every opportunity I had and quickly began to hone my skills and knowledge for predator fishing.
Covid Lockdown
Unlike most people, during the Covid19 lockdown I had a great time! I was able to spend hours and hours tying rigs, organising tackle, fixing and buying new lures before the announcement was made confirming that fishing alone was now allowed and would count towards our “daily exercise”.
Being no more than five minutes walk from the river bank, you can be sure that I fished every single day and in this period I managed to land two 20lb+ pike using 20cm+ lures amongst many other mid to upper double figure pike.
The Journey Continues.
Since these beginnings I have managed to secure sponsorships and turn my angling into a business.
Much more content to come so be sure to follow my journey!
Tight Lines!
