When you've been working on something quite dull for a German bank until 3am and going back to bed isn't an option, it's quite a treat to gather up a couple of the ladies and head out to the coast for a breath of fresh air...
Michelle, Jo and I took the scenic route through the back-roads to Mersea Island and parked up at The Hard with a perfect view of the floating pontoon, oyster sheds, the boats bobbing about on the water further out and those stranded on the mud flats infront of us until the tide came in...
Bitterly cold as it was outside, we decided to stay hidden in the back of Frida under a pile of blankets... we had tea, coffee, beetroot juice, bacon rolls and a pot of Nutella frozen from its overnight stay in the van... what more could we want.
The seagulls began to circle... we hoped they hadn't heard of the new practice Jo had told us about that morning.
