A bright cold morning in Walton

The morning looked bright but felt cold, and there was a gentle breeze - an ideal morning for a stroll along the promenade at Walton on the Naze. Not many other people ventured out apparently, so we had it all to ourselves as we walked toward the Naze end.


The beach huts looked really colourful in the morning sun.

The tide was coming in, but appeared gentle at this time.

As the tide neared its peak, it began to assume a more vigorous nature.

By the time we were nearly back to our starting point, we had to watch the path ahead which was disappearing under the swell.

But eventually I was caught! Just as I was passing this point, a wave crashed over the wall and hit me! Thank goodness for a good coat, although my trousers suffered.
