Lovely weekend away on Mersea Island Essex

This weekend my husband and i joined others from the Suffolk centre caravan club for a relaxing get together at Waldergraves holiday park. This park was given an award for the best kept family holiday resort. I would thoroughly recommend it.

The park caters for all of those who want to experience the out door life either in a tent, caravan or motor home with plenty to do for the whole family, There are lovely walks along the private beach and around the Island, just right to shed those extra few pounds.

We turned up in our motor home along with our two puppies, Hetty and Ruben to be greeted by several  friendly faces who organised the weekend.  Our pitch was south facing with electric and water which is just what we caravanner's like for an easy time.

We were lucky with the weather and managed to walk along the beach as the tides were just right.

Mersea is known for its oysters where people come from miles around to sample these delicacies.

Mersea is also good for wind surfing .

Hetty and Ruben's first holiday

 Tides out and just look at those clouds

The clouds were so low you almost touch them

I just loved this beach hut. Its surprising what you can do with a bit of imagination.

This shed looks like its been here for years

What a place to have a garden

The tide tends to come in very quickly just right when wind surfing
