Time to say our goodbye to Hampton court one more time – we will be back again… were not finished in Kingston just yet 🙂
Once up the lock.. it’s time to fill the water tank..
ONE AND A HALF HOURS LATER! We can finally move on again.. And yes.. were using a shorter hose.. still no bloomin quicker! I do wish Thames Water had not insisted EA change these taps.. there a frigging nightmare now!
Down past the houseboats on Tagg’s Island.. and yes, there all named (zoom the GPS track in to see if I’m right!)
And some are for sale… ( fancy a riverside home… https://www.watersideresidential.co.uk/ )
And.. these two “Slumboats” are still there… ( http://www.friendsofhurstpark.org.uk/index.html )
Hopefully.. Garrick’s temple to Shakespeare will be open again soon..
And it looks like Platt’s Eyot had a bit of bad luck..
And another riverside property up for sale..
Past more…
Past the Anglers.. with our mooring for the next few days in the distance..
And – with a lot of persuasion, finally got the mooring pins in through the hardcore towpath.. a mooring that you pay for – without anywhere to tie ropes to.. what are we paying for!
With the next few days “view from the hatch”..
