Would you buy a beach house?

.... especially on the Essex coast line? We were down in Mersea on Saturday with friends and while waiting for our table at a little cabin that sells fresh seafood we took a walk down the beach.

It is was a blustery wintry January. There were lots of kite boarders (have to admit looked kind of cool) and some strong winds.

There seemed to have many people enjoying the day and big community of people who hang out on the beach. It was surprising considering the weather. But there were lots of people who live down there !

So, if you have a spare £15k, you can buy yourself a beach house - British style!
