Grey & Windy

We enjoyed a nice afternoon stroll around Wallingford castle grounds and meadows yesterday. It's a shame that so little of it remains, but it's still a good space to let the imagination run wild in. Nobody came to bang on the roof for payment this morning, so I think we'll be staying another night here. Shame the weather isn't more clement, but if that was the case, I expect we'd have more boats to contend with. Last night we were the only people on the visitor's moorings.

Half a dozen big plastic cruisers have just raced upstream, and the Salter's Steamer tripboat has gone out, but apart from that, it's extraordinarily quiet here, for a bank holiday weekend.
