It’s an even day of October, so it’s bound to be sunny – and it was. We’re staying in Gloucester on Cape Ann, which is nowhere near as famous as Cape Cod, but stunningly beautiful. And note as we go through the preponderance of English names.
View from our terrace

Gloucester


Rockport



Halibut State Park (no real England equivalent)
A decent spot for lunch.


Although even on a clear day you can’t see Wales – we did wave!
Manchester-by-the-Sea
Remember the film from last year which was allegedly set in Manchester but was actually filmed in Gloucester. Gorgeous beach……

Essex
Stunning – and looks as English a scene as you could possibly get.


Including a pre-dinner drink.

Unfortunately a bit downhill in the evening. Woodmans is advertised as the best clam shack in the world. In our view it isn’t even the best in Essex and its the only one!
