This morning I spent a few hours in the glorious surroundings of Tile Wood near Rayliegh taking photographs of people taking part in the Bluebell 5 - a 5 mile trail run through the Little Haven Nature Reserve raising funds for Havens Hospices.

Maldon Prom parkrun
Yesterday morning I took a short drive from Southend to Maldon to attend Maldon Prom parkrun. Not to run but to take some photos.
