If we were in Grimsby, England, the weather is 6 degrees with clouds, sun and rain. Here in Grimsby Ontario, the weather is going to be 7 degrees, cloudy and rain with sun peaking through in the afternoon.
If we lived in Grimsby in England, we'd be called Grimbarians. There would be about 88,000 of us. Grimsby is located on the east coast - it has a port that has been in use since the medieval period.
Today in the news of the Grimsby Telegraph in England there is a plan for new homes off Humberstone Avenue, and the promise that Euromillions can be won in the lottery. There are seven things to do this coming May Day Bank holiday weekend.
Being on the water, Cleethorpeks Beach, with its miles of golden sand, will have some visitors, although it might be brisk like it is here.
"IT'S far from a secret that Grimsby has a namesake on the other side of the Atlantic.
On the shores of Lake Ontario, Canada, lies a small town populated by barely more than 20,000 people which, more than 200 years ago, took its name from our Lincolnshire original.
Being in the centre of one of Canada's main tourist areas, many Grimbarians have made the trip there to see what it's like.
