Upper Thames

We have been enjoying the upper Thames for the last month, our daughter and her boyfriend came to Lechlade and pitched their tent at the campsite, we had a lovely couple of days with them before they went off to Birmingham to a Kiss concert.

Chilling out at our favourite locations have been hard work, lots of wildlife to watch and listen too. It was nice to have a catch up with Sue and Vic who are also enjoying the upper reaches this year.

I am wondering if the waterways will revert back to MPH after Brexit.

We head off the Thames for a few days to go to another funeral, we have been going too far too many lately.

On our return, we will spend a good while on the middle Thames.
