Canvey Island Walk

What a change in weather from this weekend to last weekend. This time last week we were sticking on extra layers and boots to go out sledging and building snowmen. This weekend it is 16 degrees, blue skies and we head out for a walk along Canvey Seafront in shorts, t-shirts and caps!!!! 

As usual the kids weren't highly motivated to go out for a walk and needed some encouragement, but one they were out they absolutely loved it today. I cannot describe just how nice it has been to have some good weather and to be able to break the monotony of lockdown and staying in a house by a lovely spring like walk.

The kids collected shells and walked along the beach. We admired some of the sea wall art and generally just enjoyed the fresh sea air. It is so easy to forget at times just how lucky we are to have places like this on our doorstep to visit.

Looking back at some of the sea wall art from over one of the crabbing ponds.

Of course she had to have her picture taken with the mermaid.

My treasure at the end of the NHS rainbow.

So nice to be out enjoying the fresh air and sun.

This Egyptian art must have taken ages.

And then a bit of Roman.

And the Italian Renaissance.

I was not best pleased with the boys doing this in their best trainers having been told to wear old ones. But I can't complain, at least they are outside and having fun.
