I do wish I had a retentive memory. New camera with basic book and limited instructions meant a manual was needed from the web. Downloaded 345 pages all very confusing and here am I thinking I know all about cameras! Out I go with it and everything read is forgotten in an instant! Aghhh, this is going to take some time and effort!
To get back to today, we did set off for Teddington this morning. Lovely and sunny and only 2 miles to do.

Another narrowboat was moored as we arrived and seeing the lock keeper he confirmed that we are to have a cruising buddy tomorrow. Very happy about that as I always think there is safety in numbers. We then had to hand over the overnight mooring fee. I thought the Lockie was having a joke when he said it was £ 9.50. But no he was deadly serious! Wish now we had stayed where we were and paid the £8.

That's us then ready to depart for Brentford on the 7.30am tide tomorrow and from the Launch lock as work has not started yet. We should get to Brentford for about 9.am. Sad that the month has gone by especially as we love this river. Still, there is always next year.
And some wildlife photos captured on the Lumix.

Great pictures Irene.
We did an early tide from Teddington to Brentford last year and had an amazing trip - the light was just fabulous. It was earlier in the year, but I hope you enjoy the ride. It is always good to have company. Jennie x
Looks to me as though you've got some good, first-day shots even, if the instructions were forgotten! Looking forward to something even more spectactular when you get the hang of it!
