Loved Walton, but guess it has changed much. I was only a teenager. Have never been back, but have followed your mooring plans with interest, and might even visit one day to re-acquaint myself with my sister. Parents and Grandparents long since departed. Happy days. Safe trip. |

Walton hasn't changed that much in the years I have been 'next door' in Clacton on Sea Here is a link to the History of Titchmarsh Marina. Looks like it came into being around the time you were taking your holidays there. https://www.titchmarshmarina.co.uk/history/ If you decide to come along. Let me know and I will happily have you on board Lady Emma and take you around the Walton Backwaters, Hamford water and the Twizzle.

The drive home was fun last night as the wind and rain was persistent and took about two and a half hours. Longer than normal as an accident in Lowestoft right at rush hour closed the A47 and led to a congested diversion! Still, I got home in time to watch the Mexican Grand Prix Qualifying so all was good
