137-2020 – Visit Southend on Sea


Today’s photo of the day, part of “a photo a day challenge 2020”, is about our visit to Southend on Sea shortly after the government lifted the lockdown restrictions.

Beacon Fell Country Park and St Annes Beach

At the time (2005-2006), I was working onboard the Carnival Valor as Audio Visual Staff. Open Deck, Carnival Valor Golden Eagle Catamaran, Saint Martin
