We set off reasonably early this morning in beautiful sunshine and little traffic, was it really Saturday? Yes of course it was as we had had pain au chocolat. We came passed some interesting houses and boats and I thought that this looked very picturesque.
Tall Boat
We have moored up on an island next to Windsor castle.
Last time we were here we had to work and by the time we got to the castle it wasn’t worth going in, this time that does not apply and we had a tour of the castle, the garden that resides in the moat was very impressive.
Garden pond - good use of hole left by crane

And just to prove we did actually move around inside, here is a Norman arch, well more accurately above a Norman arch. Apparently this did have to repel at least one attack.

After visiting the castle we were in desperate need of sustenance and we found it in the Carpenters Arm, which not only supplied us with good ale but also at a very reasonable price. When we came out we came across this house.
Crooked House
Enough to make anyone sign the pledge.
Today we did 5.57 miles and 2 Locks
Statistics so far:-
592.01 Miles, 472 Locks, 47 Swing Bidges, 27 Lift Bridges, 6 Tunnels.

But how do you tell the difference between Saturday and Sunday? In “Return to Kingston” you say you knew it was Sunday because you had pain au chocolat.
Good photos.

Ah well that’s because we have them at the weekend, now how do we differentiate the days? Oh yes no paper on a Sunday.
