The dinning area is bright happy and cheerful and also overlooks the Thames

The Kitchen is much larger than it looks in photos.

A view of one half of my kitchen - it has all the mod cons you could want and expect.

The Master bedroom has a Kingsize bed with its own un-suite bathroom and walk-in wardrobe

The kingsize double guest bedroom has the use of the large family bathroom off from the Hall

This is the front family bathroom which doubles up for the guest room use. The master bedroom has its own full bathroom and shower.

Sea bird life is very prolific particularly in the winter, and you can go on guided walks and talks. We also have a large family of seals that on a low tide you can see basking in the sun

His fishing skills might be better than yours ? Fishing trips are available in the old town of Leigh just a short walk away.

Old Leigh has a small but active fishing fleet this is it on empty tide and early morning

This is OLD Leigh fishing town. If you look into the background of the photo you will see a church on the hill which in NEW Leigh town with some very nice restaurants and shops and its a short walk I do every day.

At certain times of the year you have a choice of taking either the train or the boat up to London. Here on the boat the famous Tower bridge opens to allow your passage, its a fantastic site.

A days drive out and a trip up the river is a real must, this is a very pretty part of England

Arrrrr, isn¤t that lovely and this is just the tip of the iceberg. England is a small and diverse country. beautiful villages and country life, history and architecture that blows you away and all of it just a drive out.
