A much chillier day than expected, and some of us wished we had worn an extra layer or two as we made our way to Teddington Elleray Hall for coffee! Liz Scrivens then lead the easy riders through byways to Isleworth, Syon Park and via busy Brentford to Kew Bridge. From there we followed a delightful towpath, with pretty cottages and even an allotment site overlooking the river bank, all the way to the Ship at Mortlake, in the shadow of the former Watneys brewery. We settled in the conservatory as the skies opened and the rain began, warm and comfortable indoors while we enjoyed our lunch and lingered on chatting afterwards - definitely time well spent with friends! The weather cleared for a pleasant ride through Sheen gate and across Richmond Park for home. No tea stop today. Thanks Liz for finding us an interesting and enjoyable route.
