Greetings to the prayers walkers who were prayerwalking yesterday in historic Harwich. What a lovely evening it was near the harbour, with cool breezes blowing on a warm high summer evening.
We visited the parish church of St. Nicholas, which is steeped in history and connected to the Mayflower pilgrims and seafaring folk who settled along the east coast of America, now the USA.
Some of the group ended the walk and guided tour at the Alma inn, once owned by Mayflower Captain Christopher Jones' wife, and in the street where he lived. Tony Francis, who led the group, and I enjoyed steak and lobster, turf and surf. Tasty? Yes! Recommended? Yes! I understand that real ale enthusiasts are never disappointed.
For those interested in dialects and regional accents, some of the local Harwich residents speak in an authentic Essex accent, and not estuary, East End, Cockney, Received Pronunciation, or London accents.
