Day trip

We had planned to have a day out yesterday.  For one reason or another, it was the only day of the week we both had free and so come rain or shine, we were going out for the day!  And trust me, the weather report did show 'rain and shine' in disproportionate quantities.  So despite a cloudy sky and the promise of rain, we headed in an easterly direction for the Essex coast.  Over the years we have visited many of the local coastal places so we decided to try somewhere different.  We started out at Leigh on Sea, where the sky was grey and the roads deserted (most sane people had listened to the weather forecast and had not headed for the coast)  but the inner scavenger in me was very happy to find some Graffiti Art

After exploring all that Leigh had to offer, we headed back to the car and drove on to Maldon.  By now the sun was shining, the sky was blue, my Country's Flag was flying outside a little pub that also had a Hand Lettered Sign

We walked along the front and had a nice pub lunch.  After a glass of speciality beer, the husband reluctantly agreed to  was happy to pose for a Scavenger Team Photo

I have referred to my lack of height in various blogposts, and those that know me know that I am 'vertically challenged'  but it wasn't until we came across the local Fair that I realised that I am officially short enough to still go on children's rides.
