Essex...

We had a lovely weekend - spending most of it as we did in Essex. Firstly to Kerry and Fergal's on Saturday night for a pre-St Patrick's Day dinner. Kerry laid on a great spread and we were joined by Sheila, Martin, Brendan, Nee and her sister. The bottle of Jim Beam didn't make the journey home in one piece though!

On Sunday we were back in Essex again - this time to Grays to have Sunday dinner with Stuart's family. We even got to pop into the Traitor's Gate public house to sample the local ale.

En route to Grays we went to Columbia Road Flower Market to pick up some irises for Brenda.

Great weekend.
