TBTE 08.09.2010 Village Green No.VG247


Village Green No.VG247

I'm just back from my evening constitutional around the seawall with my canine companion Mabel. This, believe it or not, is one of our village greens here on Mersea Island and is also probably one of the most photographed, sketched & painted scenes by locals and visitors alike. I'm not ashamed to admit that this particular corner of the waterfront just at the end of The Lane has been something of a 'pot boiler' for me too over the years.

I admit it's not much like your architypal village green but little spaces like this muddy one of ours are very precious indeed and definately need preserving.
