... when we left our mooring at Kelmscott last Thursday ...
... there were young swallows sitting on our bow line ...
... soaking up the sun’s rays ...
... and ‘ugly ducklings’ with their fluffy plumage
Nice artwork on this day boat moored nearby
Through Eaton Foot Bridge ...
... and passing by Buscot Weir Footbridge ...
... round the now familiar sharp River Thames bends to Buscot Lock ...
... where the lock-keeper used the long pole to open the offside gate for us ...
... and to add a bit more interest to those sharp bends we meet three rowing boats.
Bloomer’s Hole Footbridge can be seen round this sharp right-hand bend ...
... and then round the sharp left-hander ...
... Hubby George is getting used to this as we approach the foot bridge safely ...
... and arrive at the most westerly lock on the Thames at St John’s Letchlade
Lilliput type buildings on the lock-side ...
... alongside a lovely memorial to a former lock-keeper
Letchlade Church and another WWII pillbox in the distance ...
... and we’re safely moored on the bankside facing Ha’penny Bridge.
It had been rather tough going against the flow; the water was still a little high I think making the current stronger after all the heavy rain we’ve had over the past few days weeks.
