View from our window. Beautiful organized vineyards and available to us to roam around, by courtesy of the owners of course.

Our neighbours. Well behaved and very friendly. The cock though made his presence felt, especially in the morning.

Our cottage is on the left. Peaceful. Idyllic.  A writer's dreamhouse.

A waterfall in Colchester.

Shrubs. Clouds and clouds of them.

Goldfish. Being sketched by an artist nearby. I just looked on.

Our breakaway to nearby Mersea was wonderful. Proved we didn't have to travel far to have fun and relaxation. Weather was good. Owners of vineyard were friendly and their dog, Rusty, had a lot of energy for a mutt with arthritis. He loved playing football with me, the great big slobbering thing.
Their cat, Pip sauntered around like cats do, even slipping his graceful body down on the dining chair as we were cooking dinner. Steak WAS to his liking.

Mum enjoyed her days as did Mr Hairy and I. We're definitely going again!
