shewhomustFortified by a truly remarkable breakfast, we set off to explore Harwich, hoping to encounter some shanties along the way. A leaflet about a Maritime Heritage Trail (not identical with this one, but passing the same points in a different order) led us to a selection of interesting buildings, and we were never far from the sound of singing: mission accomplished.
If I have to choose a single image to represent the day, it has to be this one:
Esturiana, the Goddess of Creativity, Harwich and the Estuaries, stands on Ha'penny Pier: she is the work of
Anne Schwegmann-Fielding (whose award-winning toilets at Colchester Arts Centre look well worth a visit) and there's more information about the commission here. She was created by covering an old boat with broken blue and white pottery - exactly my kind of presiding deity!
