out from Reading onto the big bad wide Thames – Monday 5th August to Friday 9th August
One more lock and then boom; the River Thames opens up wider than you could have imagined a day ago.

One more lock and then boom; the River Thames opens up wider than you could have imagined a day ago.
We've had swan bookmarks around both our mealtimes today: earlier this evening we had a swan-pair preening before admiring their own sleepy reflections in the River Kennet (it was the Avon up until Newbury and then the switch happened). They're resting their long necks onto their snowy bodies, tucking their beaks into downy wings and dozily gazing into the hypnotic current as they drop off.
Of course, this was no ordinary rain. This is the kind of rain that soaks you to the skin in 2 seconds flat. Tropical Mexican storm you-can-have-a-shower-and-wash-your-hair-in-it-rain. The kind of rain you get in horror films or Stranger Things. Epic rain.
