My son, Daniel woke me up this morning at just gone 10.30 a.m. (just checking to see if I was still alive!). How lazy! I was a bit cross I'd woken up so late, but after a quick flick of the feather duster, I decided I could still fit a trip to somewhere 'watery' in, if I hurried my old bones up.

I went back to the Essex estuary again. but I got off the train at Thorpe Bay today and walked along to Shoeburyness and further along to East Beach (I think that's what it was called, I'd never been there before?).

I'm so behind with blipping this week! I'm very sorry, but will try to catch up tomorrow evening and see what you've been up to. I hope you are all enjoying your weekends too.
