Windsor to Cookham

Another cold start to the day, the temperature struggled to get into the mid teens. Had a late breakfast in town with Roly & Bev, visited the fudge & cake shops and Waitrose before setting off at midday. Moored on Cookham meadow at 16:00 the heating was put on soon afterwards.



Nice Manx couple on this IOM registered replica Dutch barge.

Fairline Phantom with crazy ugly extension.

Aesthetically tasteful trailer extension.

It was a shame to see that Skindles hotel has now been knocked down after being derelict for some years, a lot of happy evenings were spent in it's night club in the 70's. A great venue for music, the Rolling Stones and Strawbs have both played there - a housing developement of 300 homes, office space and a restaurant are being built on the site.
Development of the Skindles site has begun.
