At Barrow Haven we see a boat waiting to be boarded when the tide comes in. Other small boats lie at rest nearby softly embedded in the muddy banks. Waters glistens in the sunlight as we look out across the estuary towards Hull in the distance.

Wandering between the reed beds is very restful. Birds can be your only companion. Their melodious singing and the gentle swishing of the grasses set the mood. I made some sketches nearby and some watercolour notes for my future paintings.
