Thursday evening

Left Kingston on Wednesday and met Pete at Radcott after all, as Kelmscott moorings all taken. I was able to leave the car in the Swan pub car park overflow for the night and as we walked back from mooring to have dinner at the pub Pete spotted an old buddy from his canoeing hey days along with several others from Brice Norton unloading canoes for a training session. Pete looked very wistful but as his canoe was still on the roof of Ani at our mooring he couldn't easily join them. He did have a good reminisce with his friend (another Pete) over a pint though.
This evening after travelling for all of 3 hours, we are on another peaceful mooring at Newbridge. Sunshine all day, but a cool wind. Not many boats on the winding river so a slow tranquil day with sitings of kingfishers always too quick to get a photo of.
Pete has canoed back to get the car whilst I sit in the bow with my book.
Great life this!
