Hello! This year’s ‘project’ is to explore the River Thames, from its source not far from Cirencester in the beautiful Cotwolds, through Oxford and Oxfordshire, until it widens out into the wide river that flows through the centre of Britain’s capital city, London.
East of London, the Thames widens out until it ends at Southend-on-Sea. Here a large marker stone on the beach says officially that the Thames ends here, beyond which the water is the North Sea.
I’ve done bits and pieces of the Thames over the years, but never yet “from source to muddy sea”.
Tomorrow I’ll be making a start by finding the source, and I do hope you’ll return from time to time to see how my adventure is progressing.
