We walked from Roger’s house into the city to go punting.  The river is a whole different world to the traffic choked streets, impressive buildings and busy footpaths.

Right in the city centre is this peaceful river Thames

Many barges used as homes, here’s and interesting roof garden

Swans on the river

No longer a traffic bridge, this Victorian beauty carries water pipes into the city

Dinky little riverside cottages – which are flood prone but very nice

This one impressed me – turrets, bay window and it’s own floating verandah
