Where was shaun?

I thought this was a fantastic book it traces the history of a Massachusetts house across centuries, following a Puritan couple, a soldier-turned-orchardist, twin sisters, a painter, a medium, and more. Blending human stories with nature, it explores love, madness, in an ever-changing landscape.

We set off early this morning as it was clear and frosty. We walked up the bench near Over Hall and stopped for tea and cake.

This is the view from the bench looking across the valley back toward Earls Colne. We’ve made a pact to walk up the bench and take a picture of this view and see how it changes through the year . Again, watch this space!

Trashed our poor garden, it’s in dire need of a sort out so we’re starting by putting a path in down to the deck.

Watch this space….

I’ve got a long weekend off this weekend and although chilly, it was a lovely day today. I cycled down to Tollesbury to see the sea and treated my self to Bread and butter pudding at The Exchange cafe in Tiptree.
