This has been by far the longest gap between blog posts, for which I greatly apologise - I've just been too busy, not to write the posts, but to get out and do anything worth writing about. Last week I went down to Essex to visit Keri's parents for a week of holiday and got plenty of opportunities to go out and take some photos... the only downside is that this could well be my last visit to the south for the foreseeable future as her parents are moving up to Grantham as soon as they can.
Much time was spent at the beach (in that little bit of summer we had), loads of visiting cafes and tearooms was done, I climbed a tower and, as many of you will have seen - I chased an amazing sunset...
So here are the photees...

In the coming days, weeks and months you will all be seeing much more of this sunset, as I spend more time processing some of the million photos I have of it. Next week I travel to Richmond for 8 days so should have a good month's supply of photos from the real North for new blog posts (unless it rains all week...)!
