A Nice Day Out

A very good friend, a very nice location and glorious weather made for a lovely day out today. We went to Osea Leisure Park situated on the banks of the Blackwater Estuary.

After enjoying a delicious coffee and blueberry muffin in the Osea View cafe

we walked along the headland 

These modern huts are very nice

but these older ones have character and a bit of charm

Some nice boats and the Tiptree restaurant at Heybridge Basin

The Jolly Sailor was busy

This sweet little cottage was for sale, it has a lovely view over the basin. I would like to live there.

Lunch was at the charming Chequers Inn in Goldhanger

St Peter's Church. I thought it was Norman, R thought it was Saxon, turns out it's both - it's structure is "of 11th century Saxon/Norman origins featuring extensive re-used Roman flint and brick flint rubble construction".

It's been a wonderful day. We will return.

∼ Be safe and well∼
