Bro and I went to Battlesbridge on the River Crouch to have lunch at the Barge Inn (extra) and then on to B&Q Basildon branch to collect a light fitting for the dining room before heading home.  Another absolutely glorious day in Essex, wonderfully warm sunshine (though I think the sun had gone behind a cloud when I took the photo!).

Early evening and we finally unwrapped and installed the dresser unit on top of the new sideboard (see yesterday) and am feeling relieved that I like it.
