Painting week, day one: Leigh on Sea Allotments

this week is our annual painting week, chosen because we thought August would guarantee some sunshine.

day one and we're in luck

the perfect weather for painting

but will we all fit into
the shed if it rains?

so we didn't need
the shed after all!

Coffee, Cake and Cough Drops

 

One rainy weekend wasn't enough to dampen our spirits, and so we followed the very wet Shorelines festival, with another cold damp day at End of Term in Chalkwell Park.

A big thank you to our collectors who funded our coffee, cakes and cough syrup!                                  

Welcome to our first blog!



Well, no need to tell you which stretch of the seafront
we spent our time together on this week



 

 




Our favourite local ice cream parlour was founded in 1932,

 the company stopped trading during the Second World War

 and re-opened in 1946, since when it has been a part of Southend's summers for us all.
