I think it is time to take you on another walk. We are at Leigh-on-Sea again and we have just walked down the cliff, across the bridge over the railway and down to the water's edge, except there is no water because the tide is out. It is early Saturday evening and cool and very windy so there are few people about.
Now passing a Buoy that is no longer in use but used as decoration. 
The fish stall is closed at this time of day so no fresh fish available
Yachts left high and dry
We are now coming to another bridge that will take us back over the railway
Looking towards Chalkwell from the top of the bridge. It was so windy it was hard to keep the camera still.
We have now crossed the bridge and are making our way up through this park onto the road
Do you need to take a breath before we walk up Leigh Hill
Don't miss these old and pretty cottages on the left as we pass
Nearly there and there's the church tower in the background
Just a quick look at the library before returning to our friends home and the delicious dinner awaiting us. Sorry I can't offer you the dinner too.
I'm a little out of breath but that brisk walk about was just what I needed today.
ReplyDeleteHere in central Florida we are battling the intense smoke from wildfires throughout the region. And it is thundering like crazy out there, and windy, but the rain refuses to fall.
We are sooooo dry and need the rain so badly to help with the fires and smoke.
Thanks for the exercise. I think my favorite part was that trek up Leigh Hill.
Barbara, thank you for taking me on the walk with you....the scenery is breath-taking...Thanks to you and others I am able to see England through your eyes and I like what I see....
ReplyDeleteEven though today is not celebrated in England as Mother's Day, I do wish you a very Happy Mother's Day.....Betty

A perfect walk to prepare for Lindisfarne.
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing these. Such a beautiful walk, cottages and I just love that library building.
ReplyDeleteLove this wlk round Leigh brought back so many lovely memories for me, the only thing you missed for me was the railway station - I used to catch the train into Southend.
ReplyDeleteThat was lovely. I love to share a walk in pictures. Those cottages towards the end were lovely.
