This was a short day of only 11 miles and then I would be popping home for the night. However, there some lovely sights along the way.
There was the glass box overhanging the river, a real room with a view complete with chairs. More beautiful houses, new varieties of waterfowl, a house with a small statue of an elephant in the front garden. All life is here. It also seemed to me that money is more apparent, I think that lots of the properties I'm seeing are not cheap.
Both yesterday and today were getting busier with people on the path, some not even having a wet dog or small child as an excusefor being out and about. But then it was a lovely weekend. I chatted to a lady with a labradoodle (wet). I spotted wingtips over the water ahead of me, some geese were flying in formation as they do. When they got to me what struck me was that there were four Canada geese but also one what I shall call a greylag, almost as if he'd asked if he could join the flight. Nice to see some inter-species training cooperation!
Somebody had put a hillside into the walk for today. I was most put out. This is called the Thames Path so why does it have undulations? I wasn't the only one complaining; I met some cyclists and told them about the fallen tree ahead.
Anyway, I got back home just after 3 pm. It was nice to be back in my house and do some washing. I checked out my new plants in the garden to see that they hadn't died. Two cats were alive as was the
Miniwomble. There was even post for me and none of it from the other great river.
