Where have all the Children gone ?

So, as the weather forecast for this afternoon was heavy rain, my good lady and I decided to have a walk from Frinton Golf club, along the sea wall to Holland Haven nature reserve

It's a walk we have done many times before, but today it was made even more pleasant. It was 20C with a cool wind, but, as you can see to beach was empty.

It's nice to see the front packed with holiday makers and children. But it's even better for us locals on days like today.

So until the Summer of 2014, thanks to all the holiday makers, and see you all next year.

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

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 

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.
