What a beautiful day, one of those early winter days when the sky is so blue making a perfect back drop for the dark green of the trees.
For a change we took the dogs down to the bay, it's been quite a number of years since our last visit to this particular area and there have been many improvements.
The mud flats were exposed as it was low tide so it didn't look quite as beautiful as it can do when the sun is reflecting off the water.
It used to a very old, depressed area and the 'esplanade' was unkempt and often littered which made it look even more run down.
For the most part the houses were cheaply build 'holiday cottages' which is putting it very kindly to say the least.
As is so often the case people just didn't appear to have much pride in the area and it exuded a rather sad dilapidated air.
Since that time many of the old homes have been demolished and now 'waterfront living' is all the rage' the majority of new homes are very 'up market' indeed.
The 'esplanade' has been landscaped, incorporating the beautiful old trees and the natural vegetation, making it a delightful area to walk in.
