A sunny winters walk to blow away the cobwebs

Our walk started at Heybridge Basin.

Tilly my little Jack Russell took the lead along the tow path. She loves to be in charge by showing the way.

The canal looked very calm and tranquil in the winter sun.

                                                                               My daughter and I struggled to pick our way through the muddy pathway. Note my daughters white trainers.

Maldon estuary with the tide out.

While looking for some flotsam I came across this lovely piece of wood. It is now in my garage waiting for me to do something creative with it.

Mud! Mud! Glorious Mud!

We passed this wreck, destined to spend it's last days gradually sinking further into the muddy grave yard.

                                                              I just love days like this.
