I've only just now come across this delightful video, and it took me straight back to my childhood in West Mersea in the 50s. Lots of exploratory paddling through the mud at low tide, especially over what we children called ”Crab Island”, a stretch of algae covered mud cut through by the retreating tidewaters, making mounds able to take our weight, and which sheltered hundreds of crabs. Reed beds, where we made mazes and hid from each other, are gone now, giving way to water's-edge properties and artificially sandy beaches. Dinghy sailing in the sound off West Mersea Yacht Club, and suppers afterwards in the restaurant. Totally unsupervised days of seashells, sunshine, water, swimming - bliss! My grandfather owned and ran the White Hart, and my mother owned our house on Melrose Road. These memories have sustained me through a life of travel - I have visited every continent except Antarctica - but my heart lies in Mersea Island. Thank you for an unexpected and welcome meander through 60-year-old memories!

I've not been to Mersea for a few years as a bit of a way. This makes me want to go back & visit as soon as I can. One of the most well made natural history films I've watched, a wonderful narrator.

great place.Bit mad when you want it, but peaceful and stunning when you need it..So many memories. Great fishing ( beach and lake ), and long walks, followed by long boozy BBQS . Unfinished business with the island !!. Will have a van there again in the next few years when the kids are trusted with the house on their own LOL. Six years when they were young, the best times of my life !!
