River bottom and white swans

It appears that Richmond weir is having a spot of repair work done until Christmas. This gives us a very special and rare view of the river bottom of the Thames in Richmond and Twickenham. Sad I know, but after cycling by the river for so many years it really quite exciting to see this unique site. One that was readily available to our ancestors!

Long Water and Hampton Court's Royal swans amongst some helpful fencing left by the Hampton Court Flower Show! Never the less a beautiful site on this cold winter's morning.
