These pictures just popped up on my Facebook from a year ago today and it was one of my favourite days in the Askari build. We spent the day on Mersea Island with Dolphin Sails who are making the sails and covers and Passmores who are doing the upholstery for us. Carolyn especially enjoyed Passmores visit as they have this gorgeous show room which is tiny and fitted out like the interior of a yacht, but with heaps of fabric books and cushions to work through. They also had a bunk set up so you can test the foam and mattresses - so much fun! Although we never did manage to find exactly the right scatter cushion.....
You get to Mersea Island via a causeway and despite checking the tide we managed to get stranded due to some strange atmospheric conditions; so what else to do but head to the pub.....
