After a very peaceful night we set off on one of the best bits of the Thames, I’m my opinion that is. First up Bisham Abbey, then we had the Thames to ourselves as we drifted along.

Then onto Marlow, which has a good set up for boaters with mooring near the town. The town is most attractive, has some smart shops and a Sainsburys for shopping. Hazel had done some research, and found “Lady Sew and Sew”, Rowan sewing book purchased along with 12 balls of felted tweed.

Not wishing to repeat yesterdays late mooring we cruised past Bourne End and moored up for lunch at Cookham. It’s such a nice spot we’ll stay the night. I’ve had a walk into town and found the 11th Century Church, well known in Spencer paintings, along with flowers everywhere.
