Current location: Walton-on-Thames11.11am, Walking alongside a beautiful part of the Thames river. Today is Father's Day and, by some miracle of co-ordination, Andy and his dad are in the same place today. Which is a beautiful part of south-west London, joined by Andy's mum, Val, and me.
We got up early-ish this morning and had scrambled eggs and coffee outside in the sunshine, then went for a nice four-mile walk along the river. Actually, nice doesn't even really come close. We ambled along for about an hour, dodging the cyclists and joggers, petting the dogs, watching the rowers, admiring the flowers (thanks to Val who seems to know the name of anything that's ever grown - in the fourth picture down, she's in the background smelling some honeysuckle!)), chatting, laughing, skimming stones, watching the barges and working up an appetite. Our walk took us to a riverside pub, where we all ate until we were full, and toasted all the lovely dads in the world, Andy's and mine especially.
