from one extreme to another

Some days are just way much better than others: this is where I was today:

Tillingham
slap bang in the middle of nowhere (you can just see the sea in the distance) - bet this isn;t the image that comes to mind when people hear 'Essex'

St Lawrence, round the corner from Tillingham


Yesterday I was here
Basildon
 Not the most scenic area on the planet and full of traffic jams!  I didn't get home until gone 7 yesterday and was cranky when I got in.  Today, I got home by 4pm and after all those lush green fields, sunny day and hardly any traffic on the lanes I felt much better!

I came home and finished this

  6. It's funny isn't it, in Essex you can be in the town, country or at the beach all in one day. I have to say though that I always save up before I come to Tiptree 'cos of the Cheap Shop. I would be bankrupt if I lived there.
