Holiday: 30

posted by

I am at the end of my tether with this internet lark. It is now Wednesday and the service is so intermittent as to be non existent. I have so many query boxes on the current writings that I feel I’m writing a learned academic piece not a work of crime fiction. Today’s adventure saw […]

Holiday 26

posted by

Was a day out to Rhyl I remember it fondly as a place wherr cars crawled in queues for miles to get into. Alas no more. Since the Sunlife Centre’s demise, the place was empty. Rolling sandy beaches devoid of life stretched for miles. There were seagulls and starlings and a few hardy tourists braving […]

Father’s Day today saw us travel to Chelmsford. Coming from the restaurant after a fab meal – thanks Turtle Bay for the Gluten Free and Vegan options* – I saw this. Apropos  for a blog post, don’t you think? * I’m not vegan, I’m lactose intolerant.

Taken in Harlow Town Park last Sunday, I wanted to capture the little red plant hiding in the grass. I had no […]

posted by

On a sunny Saturday, we walked from our chalet to the lighthouse and back. En route we came across the following plaques. Not blue but very historic. As an adoptive Canvey girl the similarities always strike me with this seaside town. Created as a holiday resort by a Victorian with imagination, the cliffs were opened […]

50 before 50: #17 & #18 Harlow

posted by

Snapped yesterday in Harlow were these two Blue Plaques. I’ll be honest, I was surprised to see them. Harlow for me has a negative connotation. Home to all the worst  Essex can be: chavs, shellsuits, bling. And yet I found  a bustling connurbation. A thriving market, a wide range of shops. A community spirit. A […]

50 before 50: #15 & #16 St Ives

posted by

Stopping in St Ives awhile back I snapped these two plaques. Not remembering people per se. More remembering the occupations of people and the buildings they worked in: the corn exchange and the police station  If you get time to visit, it’s a quaint market town with some nice independent eateries and a statue of […]
