The arid brownfield - to put it mildly - back garden is coming along nicely all on its own. Looking forward to seeing any of the teasels that make it through untrampled.

View between the stern of the boat and the retaining wall, a patch of the boatyard with teasels, grasses, buddlea all doing their very best to thrive.

Back to the #boatyard, as first part of an epic jaunt for the Pali flag. It's so
peaceful here of a bank holiday weekend.
#TOWIE

Cloudy sky, pylon, shed, buddlea, the retaining wall of old tyres as permanent formwork. Feet up on a step ladder resting bad knee and newly bad foot (don't ask).

#TOWIE
#boatyard, and back to those big skies

A brunch time boatyard view as the sun breaks through.

We're all cidered and wined up, plus of course there was the hip flask during the game, and it's all watered enough to survive until we're back from 'the marshes'.

View from a very much seated position looking across the allotment.

Seeds sown (high-rise stacked in Lidl bijou propogators), washing up done. And all packed.

Home from the marshes
#TOWIE #MarshMadness

Two derelict reinforced concrete buildings of a former flour mill at the head of an Essex estuary. View across site throungh Heras fencing topped with barbed wire and with piles of concrete rubble and twisted reiniforcing bar tipped behind to deter any entry

Another view of the building closest to the wharf, the hoppers of its silos are visible at ground level through the RC post structure. The wharf and the gutway of the river at low water are also visible though obscured by the remains of RC and rusted steel fencing in front of which is barbed wire topped Heras fencing

A view of the ned of a bridge at the head of the navigation, with the silo building and the wharf, the gutway and mudbanks of the river. On the other side, a boatyard with various craft moored.

Reverse view showing the galvanise steel railings at the end of the bridge, and the marsh which has become of the lagoon of the former tide mill once at this site. Electricity pylons form part of the horizon.

Home from the field, shattered, X amount of 'it' having been knocked out of the ballpark. #Allotment
The margins of Essex tomorrow for a bit of variety. #TOWIE

Billi Mucklow get’s AC tattoo removed amid divorce

Alas, I can only find a small violin for these #media workers, as the latest whinge is #TV companies are not making as many unscripted shows (i.e low budget reality TV, reality crime "documentaries"), #ITV is unhappy that shows like #LoveIsland and #TOWIE are pulling in less ad revenue and reducing their budgets - now middle class white people who exploited the working classes for these shows are having to do "normal" jobs amongst the same ordinary folk..

...and the head of the estuary.
#TOWIE
#MarshMadness

View from a boatyard jetty at the head of an estuary. It's early on the rising tide. To the left mudbanks are exposed and sweep in an arc seawards, behind them saltmarsh and beyond the seawall farmland.
Right of shot the bow of a motor yacht and the piling of the pontoon to which it is moored. Beyond a line of pontoons alongside which various boats are moored. The sea wall and farmland in the distance.
Blue sky with hazy white cloud.

Teasels and tings.
#TOWIE

A boatyard scene in Essex in glorious sunshine. The remains of some teasels and other dead weeds stand in the foreground. Behind the stern quarter of a small sailing yacht with oil drums supporting it's stern. Alongside is a rowing dinghy leant up against it. Against that have been placed some offcuts off plywood having magically arrived on the train from London, strapped and roped up to be carried slung over the shoulder, and a black rucksack.

Its good they are setting this up for the teens and their parents, but why the fuck did we import the #highschool #prom into this country in the first place? It also imports the dysfunctional culture wars of USA #highSchools on top of our own social problems (such as youth seeing #TOWIE and #LoveIsland folk as role models)
