A large crowd at Molesey. About a dozen set off for Isleworth, a visit was intended to Tom Fish but alas too late he was moving that very day into a care home. An interesting stop at the Ordnance Survey marker in Roy Grove, a cannon buried in the ground as a marker, thanks to Ron. This took me off route a little and required us to re-route through Bushy Park to see some magnificent stags at very close range. Soon back on track, through Twickenham (not intentional) and on to The London Apprentice where the sun came out and lunch was outside with a lovely view of the river and mature trees on Isleworth Ait. We searched the graveyard of All Saints for the memorial to the Plague victims of the 1650s who were dumped on barges and ferried out of the City of London to be thrown into the pit at the back of the church. Returned to Kingston by river,keeping to the west bank, crossing at Teddington Lock where there are many new paths being constructed, but not yet finished because of a wait for a piece of machinery to flatten the surface. Thanks to Lynda, Ron, Chris, Norman and Roger who stuck with me to tea time in Kingston.
