In relating yesterday's snake story to my English friend Sarah on Facebook, I got thinking about Burnham-on-Crouch. See, Burnham had adders, though I never saw one (thank goodness).
I'm always happy to post pictures of Burnham, so here's a photo retrospective of my favorite little English town.
 |
| The White Harte Hotel, on the quay. |
 |
| Along the High Street |
 |
| A familiar sign for this train-lover. |
 |
| The marina |
 |
| Flower pots at the Cabin Dairy Tea Rooms |
 |
| Pharmacy, post office and photo processor, all in one. |
 |
| The clock tower on the High Street |
 |
| The Crouch at low tide. |
 |
| Farmland along the river |
 |
| Taken from the train, coming into Burnham. |
 |
| I don't know how many cards and letters were sent to the US from this box! |
 |
| The Quay |
 |
| Tiny Burnham Rail Station |
 |
The Limes--a farm shop I walked by every time I went to work, the market, the
rail station...anywhere. |
 |
| One of my earliest pictures from Burnham. Love the red sail. |
 |
| The Crouch is saltwater at this point. |
 |
| Kathy's garden. I spent some time reading on a lounge chair in this garden! |
 |
| Southminster Road, and way off in the distance, the school I worked at. |
 |
| Yes, that house has a thatched roof. |
 |
| St. Mary's, a medieval church--I could see it from my classroom windows. |
 |
| Sunset on the Crouch, taken from the Royal Corinthian Yacht Club. |
