Thanks Paul,
It's so quite here at work I thought I'd post a couple of pictures up to while the time away whilst getting paid at the same time !
Ros and I often go to Harwich or Folkstone to watch the sun going down.
Being on the East coast we only get the sunrise over water but because Folkstone and Harwich is a natural water inlet you can get the Sun setting over the sea, sort of!
Which is nice because it doesn't involve getting up at silly o clock

Nice photos, especially the second one!

Harwich, I went there years ago as a kid when I lived in Walton-on-the-Naze....

Thanks Bill,
It hasn't changed much for years, very sleepy kind of place.
Folkestone is the nicer town to visit in my opinion but its a longer drive from Clacton via the A12.
Although if you fancy it there is always the foot ferry over the water

Yes, I have quite fond memories when I was 11/12/13 sitting in the back of my folk's car and travelling all around those places, stopping at pubs alone the way - my Mum always used to bring me out a pint of Shandy to drink in the car - was normal then...lol.

Good memories which I treasure because my Mum died when I was only 15.....

Funny how its the little things like smells, taste, places etc that bring back memories.
Always nice to remember those special times and special people who were and still are in our lives
