Family m...Wonderful weekend on/near the Thames ...<br /><br />Family matters took Carole and I to Newlands Corner overlooking Surrey Hills and the South Downs on Saturday. <br /><br />Then on to a night at a hotel right next to Shepperton Marina. Took a wonderful walk around the marina after breakfast this morning (we dumped our boat there for a week or so in 2014) and then on to traffic grid locked Hampton Court for coffee and a walk to the moorings there :)). Again a favourite spot to stop a while. Felt odd to be there without the boat! <br /><br />Feeling keen we then walked along the Thames past Moseley lock (my nightmare last summer where the 'houseboat' in your previous blog was stuck on the lock mooring causing chaos). It's now slightly downstream on a trip boat mooring opposite Hampton Ct Palace !! Kept going along the Thames path as far as Astoria (David Gilmour's recording studio) and then coffee / soup outside in the freezing cold opposite all the lovely houseboats at the cricket club.<br /><br />Just love this part of the world ( and I travel a lot!) and a smidge jealous of you and NPXL on your Thames winter moorings. We'll be back on board next week on the GU ... but the river calls us !!<br /><br />We did think of dropping in to say hello but despite our many trips along the Thames my sense of distance is way off and we needed to head north directly late afternoon.<br /><br />Love all your photo's of London (I stay at the Tower hotel from time to time and often just spend an evening looking at tower bridge). But I really like your recent pic of the mill house where you are. What is it now ??<br /><br />Sorry we didn't make the trip out to your moorings, hope we have the chance to try again before we head south on the water.<br /><br />Best<br />P&C<br />Paulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02874535285975592388noreply@blogger.com
