Burnham-on-Sea

What a very nice shot.
Another place I don't know. But I should!
I had clients who lived in Burnham for a while and our first meeting was arranged over the phone and they suggested we meet for a working lunch at a pub in Burnham. They gave me the pub name and address and I arranged a day out of the office. I had never been to Burnham before and was looking forward to a day out as I had heard it was a very nice place..
I arrived and asked directions for the pub. Blank expressions. I tried to find a phone box that was working and did so but I didn't get a reply from my clients. I also couldn't find the name of the pub in the phone book (this was before the days GPS or mobile phones). Puzzled and frustrated, I tried my clients landline a few more times and had to give up and therefore had no option but to return to the office in Northwest London.
The only plus point was that I discovered that the town of Burnham-on-Crouch in Essex is very pleasant indeed!

Oh dear that was quite a journey then Andy, ha ha!! I had lunch in the town! I wonder if it was the same pub! Thank you for your amusing story and for your kind comments. I wish the weather had been as nice as it is today, but never mind, there is always another day.
Best wishes, Rosa.

An amusing story by Andy above :~) More to the point though is the fact that this is a very nice scene indeed ~ Well done ~ Best wishes ~ Nick

Thank you Nick. Pleased you like it. Andy's stories are always amusing ;-)
All the best, Rosa.

Wonderful beach scene.

Thank you for your kind comments Jaap.

One of the nicest shots that I have ever seen of this Rosa.

That's very kind of you to say Jeff, thank you.

Quite an expanse of beach Rosa, and the old lighthouse still in use!! nice shot....... YS... John.

The dogs were certainly enjoying it John. Many thanks for your kind YS....Rosa.

Really superb, Rosalyn !

Thank you very much Christiane.

Lovely seaside scene, Rosa. I'm so pleased that the weather held up for your planned trip.
Cheers, Amelia

Well, yes and no Amelia! I was going to wait for the tide to come in on the R.Parrett, but thate rain came...so I went home :) Cheers, Rosa.

Hello Rosa what a lovely shot indeed and an interesting lighthouse too .. perhaps Andy could visit Burnham in Buckinghamshire next time for a ride out :))

saved in fav's by me

Best wishes ... Steve

Hello Steve, he could make it a mission to visit every Burnham in the country and knowing Andy he could write a very good book about it ;-)) Thank you for your kind YS.

Best wishes, Rosa.

Hello Steve and Rosa. I now know all three Burnhams (at least the ones mentioned, I'm sure there are others!) and all have their pleasant aspects.
I don't think a book would be welcome by anyone, least of all Amelia!!! :o))))
Hoping all goes well with the crowdfunding!

I would buy the book Andy!! :)

I LIKE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thank you, I am pleased :)

A cracking composition of this wide expanse, great to see all the people enjoying it.

Best regards, Doug

A good time of year to walk on the beach Doug. Thanks for your kind comments.
Best wishes, Rosa.

A familiar view from my youth! As many people did, my then fiancée and I had our photo taken there. My parents lived down the road in Highbridge.
