Jeff and I were both felled by nasty colds on Saturday, so going walking was out of the question for a couple of days while we shivered and sneezed uncontrollably. Just being back in the world felt good today, and I was grateful for the sunshine and blue skies, despite the cruel nip of the wind whipping along the High  Street in Rayleigh. I was sorely tempted to stop for a hot drink in Squires, but our list of errands made such decadence impossible this morning.
