A blast from the past today, we motored downstream to Weybridge, where I grew up in the UK. After contacting our friend Sue at Walton Marina we decided to moor up here, as it’s a sheltered spot. At least it’s not raining, but it’s still blowy and the water has a stronger current flowing today. Our mooring is enhancing / spoiling a million £ house view !

T42 is moored on the right hand side of the pic. Not much of Weybridge remains that I recognise, 1 or 2 shops and the road layout.Church road antiques seems to be still surviving, at the “bottom” end of town, near the addlestone road and bridge.

Monument hill and the Ship Inn, now a hotel, still looked familiar. A lot more housing going up to Queens road now.
Our favourite grocer and fish shop has gone at the bottom of Baker Street, though a florist is still there.

Thankfully the library is still there, exactly as I remember it due to the hours spent there selecting and reading books. Something I still enjoy to this day in preference to tv. Weather permitting we will visit Sue tomorrow.

Ah, a trip down memory lane…….
Beautiful pic of the mansion. Made even better with T42 in it.
