Another Day, More Isolation

Another day and another walk!  Today we headed down to the Thames, passing through an old part of Chiswick. The bow front Olde Burlington was typical of many of the buildings we passed.

The Thames was at low tide, not making it a very attractive sight. Many people make this the mooring for their houseboats. High and dry!

The small corner shop along the path is too small to adhere to the social isolation rules, so they set up their business under a gazebo in their front space. And the food looked delicious.

Then we came across an iconic riverside pub, The Black Lion. It could tell some stories!

Our plan to walk the path along the edge of the Thames was thwarted by the number of folk who had the same idea as us. To keep our distance we quickly changed our route. 

On the way back we came across a very picturesque street scape surrounding St Peters Square.
