Unmitigated Essex

Just a quick one, as I'm off now to the Welsh Borders (well, the English side that is: Herefordshire and Shropshire) and will be out of range of the Blogosphere radar. But I thought you'd like this, a very uncompromising shed on the hard at Tollesbury. And yes, the side view shows it's got a corrugated iron roof. The only sound is the constant tap-tap of wire against aluminium masts and the voices of blokes in overalls tarring boats shouting nautical / weather notes at each other. One of my very favourite places, south of Tiptree which means you can call in for tea and scones at the jam factory served with a jar of Wilkin's 'Little Scarlet' strawberry preserve. Right, off to Offa's.

There's nowhere like the working seaside for an 'uncompromising shed'. These are often semicircular in cross-section but this one gives you even more of the circle - the wonders of corrugated iron!

Hope you enjoy Herefordshire and the Borders - and not too much cider! (This is the tight male crossing the border...).

Could this be a revitalised Nissen Hut? Not so many of 'em left now.

My mother's mother's family all came from Tollesbury and I used to have childhood holidays there.

If you head for the Stiperstones Inn in Shropshire you will find they have free broadband and are happy to lend you a laptop too.

Thankyou all. Back now, with lots to talk about. As you will see.
