After disusing with Tim about my dissertation for my 3rd year i took this book out of the library. After living in Essex my entire life it certainly made me see it differently - beautifully. I also found a blog which is words by Ken Warpole.

The way he describes the coastline around Essex has really made me see it in a different light and i really think this could help me in my reserch for my dissertation.
