River Swim





Up the Avon Valley, past Crew's Hole, Conham Park and the rowing club towards Hanham weir and the lock, operational since 1727.







I wonder why they didn't take it further but am glad they didn't.



I've photographed this so many times it feels like an old friend. I used to get sloes near here, but either they haven't done well recently or others are beating me to it.





A good swimming spot near a willow tree which we've used several times. It gets a few visitors, but today it was just the swans.









Lots of sweet smelling balsam flowers everywhere, with magic spring loaded seed pods that ping open when they're ready, scattering seed far and wide.
