Did my usual walk along the promonade in Clacton first thing.  My sister lives just a few minutes walk from the beach.  It was very windy and it started to rain as I was walking back.  I got drenched!  Later on my sister took me to Walton-on-the-Naze to have a look at the beach huts and I spotted this statue of Herbert George Columbine VC,  He was a private in the 9th Squadron, Machine Gun Corps, British Army during the First World War Squadron and was awarded the Victoria Cross for a deed he did in the war.  More information here.  Another in extras of some colourful beach huts.
