Alls well that end well

Travelled back to Essex today to visit my mother who, just last Saturday, had hip replacement surgery. After 7 days she is home and back to her normal lovely self and convinced that she knows best! Tomorrow she will be 89 years own, still living in her own home and VERY independent.
On the way home we did a detour along the seafront. Even though I haven't lived here for 30+ years parts of it never change, other parts I didn't recognise at all.
