The fabulous Richard Lester performing at Boxted Parish church. Cellist extraordinaire! I met him once before when he borrowed a cello from the Academy when I worked there- he's really nice
Autumn sunshine on Boxted church- beautiful!
We headed down to the seafront at Frinton where the light was perfect, the air wonderful and all was restful
It was such a beautiful beautiful day. It was totally a spur of the moment thing to come to Frinton- we dashed out of the house to make the concert and didn't think about post-midday!
My last birthday Cape keeping me warm! I love that CBC chose this himself!
There is a fabulous array of beach-huts at Frinton. I've never been inside one- have you?
The sea-spray was pretty fierce as we wandered. It made me think of that gorgeous John Masefield poem,
Seafever, verse 2:
I must go down to the seas again, for the call of the running tide
Is a wild call and a clear call that may not be denied;
And all I ask is a windy day with the white clouds flying,
And the flung spray and the blown spume, and the sea-gulls crying.

It did make me laugh as I found this Spike Milligan version when searching:
I must go down to the sea again,
to the lonely sea and the sky
I left my shoes and socks there -
I wonder if they're dry?

Notice a familiar bystander in CBC's photo...
Who then backs away in alarm at the monster wave. What happened next?
Quite possibly the coolest beachhuts ever here! One appears to have been decorated by Emma Bridgewater and the other?
Which do you prefer: spots or stripes?
CBC took this (and most of the other) picture- check out all those wind turbines! Essex is doing its bit for renewable energy? Rather serendipitous that I was coincidentally wearing a sailor-cardie for an impromptu sea-side sojourn!
I could have walked on for miles...
Frinton is a lovely seaside retreat in Essex. Have you been?

ReplyDeletewhat beautiful pictures. those beach huts are so cute, and that blue gazebo looks perfect! and i love your cape...what a great gift!
ReplyDeleteI prefer the spots and I haven't been there but it looks like a lovely day out - and so sunny too - it's been mostly grey and cloudy round these parts since Saturday!
ReplyDeleteBeach Huts are the acme of coolness...and that spotty one....what a fab outing!!!
ReplyDeletevery pretty photos dear kezzie! i've never been in a beach hut either. actually i don't know if i've seen an actual one in real life. beach tents & canopies, yes, but huts? maybe when i was in acapulco? they were just thatched roofs we sat under for shade.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous skirt! I love it! Especially with the tights and cardi. It looks so beautiful there! Amazing photos.

stripes for me, reminds me of candy.
ReplyDeleteLove the turbines pic, very lovely. I'm sure I've been dragged to Frinton at some point by my parents but was undoubtedly too young to enjoy it x
What a pretty place and you've chosen the perfect outfit to wear for a trip to the seaside. x
ReplyDeleteThe photograph of your back turned to the camera is simply gorgeous. The dress. The sea. Lovely. You and CBG do so much together - what a wonderful relationship!
ReplyDeleteCBC! Not G. :)
ReplyDeleteIt looks like a perfect day to be down by the seaside, and a little escape to the open air is always wonderful. I really like your skirt too--actually, the hwole outfit with the red shoes and sailor collar.
ReplyDeleteLoving that skirt! Sooo cute. Looks beautiful there..and the tide pics are cool too.
