Things That Gladden The Heart

Once again seeing a Kingfisher whilst rowing on the river today. My first taste of 8am cold weather rowing but it was lovely on the river today (once I warmed up)!

Off to play golf this afternoon - rowing has definitely become my sport of choice :cool:
 
Haven't been to London for ages. However not every day your kid sister graduates ..
 
Started with 10 and after 5 mins the Left back had to come off injured. They played 65mins with 9 men.

I'm buzzing for them and the coach. The coach is only a young lad but he gives up his time and they all love him.

Can you swing him the England job?
 
Saturday was a glorious day up here, blue skies, no wind and amazing vision.
We decided to go to Turnberry and do the Lighthouse walk, so did quite a few others.
Lady Doon took many photos and as we started back I noticed a few of the caddies had their viewers trained on the Clyde.
A pod of over 20 porpoises were making their way North.
A crowd quickly gathered, and we watched them for about 20 mins.
All nationalities happily chatting and sharing a magic moment.

A friend who was a wee bit further North at Dunure also spotted a Basking Shark about the same time

Who do you row for?

Something very special about an early morning row with the mist rising in the autumn!

Saint Neots. Only started earlier this year on a Learn to Row course but have really got into it and even raced in an eight this summer. So this will be my first Autumn/Winter rowing but so far just having a quieter stretch of river is lovely.
 
Stuck on a train behind a dead train that's awaiting recovery on the way into London.
I'm on a course this week and should be late enough to miss the 2 hours of mandatory propaganda before the actual learning begins. ?
