In sharp contrast to yesterday, this morning was clear - not a cloud in the sky. Cold but not unpleasantly so. Started the walk around 9.15 am (it was hard saying goodbye to a most comfortable guest house!). Having taken a picture of the guest house, it seemed unfair not to take a picture of the pub next to the Hampton Court palace where we had a drink yesterday afternoon. Here they are.
Some really nice houses along the river - didn't photograph many. Here's an example.
The path itself is good, going through wooded areas or on the bank - but no more meadows! Some old willows and the sunlight through the trees make good pictures though.
Had to take at least one good one of swans.
Teddington Lock is the biggest on the Thames. Don't know how many boats it can accommodate at a time but it is definitely much longer than all the others.
It was good to see three 'old people' (ha! ha! ha!) learning to row.
Our first sight of Richmond (and it was before 2.00 pm!) - the York Rose is the building at the bottom.
Did only 13.97 km today. We can just about smell the end of the walk - four more days! Wish us luck.
Cheers
