How much ?

As it was a bank holiday, and our son and grandchildren were joining us for lunch, my good lady and I decided to grab a quick walk this morning on Frinton sea front.

We were walking past some beach huts ( those on stilts by the golf course), when I saw a "For Sale" on one of the huts "£30k ONO. 

Now I know it was some time ago, but I only paid £32k for our last family house in Kirby Cross.

I now know I'm getting old

as as I sound like my mother lol

So long ago

What I did when I was young
Although I am not sure I remember all those years ago
This is me

Walton on the Naze

Well yesterday saw Sue and myself taking a walk up at the Naze, it's a 20 minute drive from where we live and it probably 30+ years since we have been there. With the sun shinning bright and the holiday makers keeping to the beach at Walton, it made for a very pleasant walk. Of course I had the obligatory ice cream at the end of the walk.

 In the evening we met up with our son James and his family as its our granddaughters Jessica birthday ( I will be back at work by then) on Thursday, so we went out for a meal

This afternoon after chores in the house this morning, it's been garden, paper and a glass of wine or two whilst Sue works on her PC 

EACH

Today, my grandson Jack abseiled down Colchester Town Hall to raise funds for EACH

It was a sunny day in Colchester, as more and more people made their way, the hard way, back to ground level from the roof of Colchester Town Hall.

So well done to all who took part, and thank you

Wrabness Nature Reserve

Well, an unusual weekend off, lots of grandchildren activity this weekend, but today we had a walk to a newly discovered place, that of Wrabness Nature Reserve, which I found last night as part of my work. It was a tad chilly, but a great walk along the rive stour. If you are ever that way it come highly recommended, that is if you can find it, as it is in the middle of no where.

Walk anyone ?

Last of my rest days today and back at work tomorrow ( the joys of shift work). So this afternoon the good lady and I took a stroll along Frinton on Sea, sea front. Well we nearly made it back to the car before I had to deploy the brolly, but the shower was short lived, but did nothing to diminish the humidity, if anything it increased it. 

Boys day out

I looked after my Grandson Josh today, we decide we would spend a few hours at Colchester Zoo. The normal 30 minute drive took a little longer than normal, but we finally arrived and parked the car. But after walking to the entrance the queue stretched for a looooong way. Now normally this would not be a problem as we are Gold Card holders and do not have to queue, but Josh's card had expired so I needed to pay to get in before I  could renew his card. So a joint decision was made, "abort".

Next on the list was a walk at Flatford Milll, but an RTC caused a long tail back on the  A120, but we made it in time for lunch, after which we had a pleasant walk and then some ice cream.
