Having spent much of the Easter weekend working on the Breakthrough Innovation Program paper, I suggested we walk across Barnes Bridge. It turned into quite a hike.
Leaving around 12.00, we made our way across the Bridge, through Duke’s Meadows, along the north bank of the Thames to Hammersmith Bridge, and then back along the southern shore to Barnes, arriving home some two-and-a-half hours later.
One of the best walks we’ve done in some time. Weather fitful: bright sun, interspersed with quite high winds. This morning and later, there were bursts of hail. And this morning the newspapers had been turned to paper maché in the porch.
