A WALK BY THE RIVER

As the forecast wasn’t too good for the weekend, we decided to stay home. On Sunday we went for a walk by the River Thames close by. Always interesting.
That’s a bit different on the opposite bank, not a car outside the front door but a boat.
Interested spectators.
A family outing I’m not an expert on ducks, does anyone know what these are.?
An interesting piece of topiary.
Hello, I think I’ve found my retirement home.
All’s well in the maternity ward, a swan’s nest protected from damage by it’s own nice wooden fence.
And in the nursery.
Taggs Island near Hampton Court. The houses here are beautiful and many big celebrities have lived here. Taggs Island was owned by one of my old clients sadly no longer here, he also owned AC cars.

I enjoyed your blog Bob. We need Toto or Ray to identify the ducks - bit like Mandarins but not showy enough. Gorgeous though.

Thanks Hywel, yes we like it and it is so good to have the river in walking distance. The topiary just appeared on the towpath, no house around and it didn't seem to belong to anyone so we don't know who did it.

We love going for walks or bike along along rivers, here it is either the river Ruhr near Hattingen or Rhine near Monheim.

Sorry can`t help identify the ducks docbob, but really like the markings and colours they have. I think the House is out of my bracket but nice to have a look at.
