Canoeing up the Thames

A wonderful day canoeing from Kew Bridge to Chelsea and back. Robin did all the hard work while I sketched. A lunch stop at a Carluccio's. Arriving back at Kew bridge the sight of the beautiful mishmash of gorgeous houses and pretty cottages glowing in the low summer sun, people enjoying a drink outside the pubs, babies being pushed in pushchairs, men fishing in the river – it was like a film set and something that I won’t forget.
