Conference in London

The interior of the Hydrogen

I have been down south again for a conference in London and  then I spent the weekend with my parents in Essex. On Saturday we walked down to the Hythe quay in their town to look at the estaury .Despite being sunny it was quite cold so we repaired to the the tea room on board the sailing barge Hydrogen. It was warm and snug down below. The Hydrogen was built in 1902 and is the largest sailing barge in existence, it is also where my sister had her wedding reception.
I pulled a muscle in my hamstring last week so my running was curtailed but I still managed to visit some of my favourite haunts- Beeleigh , the  marshes and  Purleigh.
