River Thames

Walton on Thames to Shepperton/Desborough

by Keith May 22, 2018 1 Comment

After a good 3 days on a mooring that was “not a mooring”..   time to move on. After the footfall and boats from the weekend, yesterday was like a ghost town.. No boats.. No people..  So we risked another day and decided to move on Tuesday.

Loads of friends over on Sunday – towpath overtaken by chairs, tables, people, dogs and cats.. but no one seemed to mind. There are a lot of swans round here, this must be the most I have seen at the window for a long time! (Who fancies a game of spot the odd one out!)

Dad and Barbara came over on Monday afternoon, as were fairly close to them at the moment. show them round the boat, just a shame that I was in a 3 hour meeting at the time 🙁 but it was still good to see them both.

After a weekend of friends and family round.. time to move on. Were going to be getting a hire car this weekend, so I need to get the boat to somewhere close to a hire car company..  But for now..  were staying here for today. Nice spot.. plenty of grass, no noise of any kind (other than when the kids start arguing) – cant even see a way of getting off the grass..   its a bit of bank, controlled by the council, which seems you cant get to..   not sure how they have cut the grass but they have – so there must be a way somewhere..

In the mean time..  schooling is done from the bank today!
