Back to do a little bit of shopping and to sort out a mountain of washing and then off down to the river for a really lovely boat cruise. Beautiful sunny day and lots of fun. A Thames barge sailed past, and we went right up towards Osey Island (where Amy Winehouse went into rehab) before turning around and heading back to Maldon, past the famous Maldon Sea Salt works, which were no where near as big as I imagined it would be.
We dropped Rog off at home and headed off for a tour with Tobes around Danbury, where he grew up. And tonight we are going out for a curry, with Betty - another friend of Rog's!!
