As we both had the day off today, we decided to catch a train to Leigh-on-sea and go for a walk. There were two reasons behind choosing that destination. First of all, it is not too far away and easy to get to on the train. Secondly, Leigh is where my wife was brought up.When we arrived, we decided it was time for a coffee! So we stopped at a pub called The Peter Boat. By going in through the doors, my wife was defying her Dad, who forbade her to go into that pub when she was a teenager! Now, it must be admitted her dad died 20 years ago, but there was still something about doing what she was forbidden to do many years ago!
Oh, by the way, as coffee was £1.95 a cup (not even a mug!), I doubt we will go there again.
=============================
Whilst walking along the prom at Chalkwell, we saw they were doing some work on the shelter there. The sign explaining what they were doing is pictured (click on it to obtain a larger image). It says they are working, "To provide new toilet facilities. We apologise for the inconvenience caused."
It just amused me.
Next to that shelter Eric is a nice little Coffee shop called Menzies pop in there next time you go and pick up one of there loyalty cards each time you visit the gentleman in there signs your card and after 8 visits you get the next one free. The foods good to, Also if you make it to the pier pop into the "Three Shells" they also do a loyalty card.Ginge :)
