Two day on the Thames River at Newbridge plus video

Hello everyone,I've spent two days beside the Thames here in Oxfordshire.We live very close to a special area where the Windrush River joins the Thames at a place called Newbridge.Newbridge Thames river OxfordshireThis is Newbridge. It's called new bridge because it was the newest of three bridges built across the Thames in the 13C. Some say it may be the oldest standing bridge in the country.Rose Revived pub Newbridge OxfordshireOn Friday, Robbie and I met some new friends, Ray and Jenny, at our favourite pub, The Rose Revived, for lunch.We love the Rose. It has some lovely food and the situation right beside the Thames is just so ideal.virginia creeper leaves turningWe picked out a table under the willows at the river's edge...patio under willow trees by a river...and watched the little minnows nibbling at the trailing willow leaves.little fish in the Thames river OxfordshireThe resident swan family has raised three cygnets this year and they were parading them around the narrow boats on the opposite bank looking for a handout.Cygnets in the Thames river OxfordshireYesterday I spent another day at the river.Cygnets in the Thames river OxfordshireThis time I walked down the Thames Path and was hoping to walk all the way down to the Northmoor lock, but decided to turn back when a thunder storm swept in.I did manage to make this silly video though.https://youtu.be/l1re14yo2QYCome for a walk with me. :DThe Thames river at New Bridge
