Leigh-on-sea holds a very special place in our hearts.
We visited it again yesterday - just mossied around: had a look at the redevelopment of The Grand; remembered staying there in 2004 and wondered if we were some of the last people to do so before it fell into disrepair - now looks like it's being turned into apartments; bought lottery tickets at the co-op; speculated on what we'd do if we won the lottery (buy a place in Victoria Rd and retire was the simple conclusion); wandered along The Broadway; rummaged through the racks in Fives (didn't buy anything though which was a shock); had tea and scones at our usual place (a bookshop and tea room combined close to Marine Parade); posted parcels for Jade's baby shower; gazed in estate windows and wondered about what could have been in 2019 if only...
Love and peace - WNP
P.S. When we returned to Caterham it started snowing so we went out for an evening stroll in pretty idyllic conditions. A perfect end to a special day!
