I drove down to Essex today with Emma, Ralph, Jo and Dave to visit my parents and in-laws.
We visited Maylandsea first, and stayed for a wonderful seafood lunch and a walk before travelling on to West Mersea. Both towns are on the Blackwater estuary, and although only a few miles apart, because of the river a 30 mile trip is necessary to get from one to the other!
The photographs here are of Maylandsea, It was flat calm, and the reflections were magical. I have memories of swimming in this part of the river every summer, we still do when we visit.
